Château Beau-Séjour Bécot
Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2019 vintage. This estate is on a hot streak. Another winner, this is an elegant,concentrated , and profound Saint-Emilion, with a silky texture and terrific length. Probably the best value among the Premier Grands Crus Classés these days.

Oct 7th, 20232018 vintage. As Juliette Ɓécot wanted to produce more elegant, accessible wines, Thomas Duclos replaced Michel Rolland as consulting oenologist with the 2017 vintage. I must say the new style is extremely convincing, and this 2018 is the best wine I have ever tasted from this estate. Although it is very concentrated, elegance is the keyword here, honouring the fine terroir on the limestone plateau. Raspberries, blueberries, flowers, subtle cedar wood, and a slight hint of fresh mint fighting for your attention. In the mouth, it seems so effortless, with layers of red and black fruit, velvety tannin and a very, very long mineral finish. The 14,5% abv is beautifully integrated.

10/22. Was extremely tannic and then over time and Coravin softened and was approachable and even pleasant. Hard to rate 85

This is a very interesting wine indeed. Tons of nuance and very prominent nose. Herbs and spices abound. I almost smell cilantro! Cassis and honey, ripe fig, sugar but also salt. Dusty earth. Acid and tannin still hanging strong. Could use a thorough decant. Loving this beautiful wine. 14.5%

Mar 13th, 2022Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, plum, vanilla and earth. On the palate, rich and full, cherry, plum, vanilla, chocolate, faint tobacco, and a long, long finish.

Yum. So balanced, so addictive. Easy dark red fruit upfront with a smooth small grained tannins and white pepper creating a silky but penetrating finish that lingered. Shared it with my mother in law who says she doesn’t care what wine she drinks….but why did she ask me for more so quickly???
