Château Beau-Séjour Bécot
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Opened this one too soon. All I could taste was tannin. I’d give it 3-4 more years

Blend of 80% Merlot, 16% Cab Franc & 4% Cab Sauv, Estate named Beau-Séjour in 1787 by General Jacques de Carle, proprietor at the time. Michel Bécot bought estate from Dr Jean Fagouet in 1969 increasing vines from 10.5 hectares to 15, acquiring Trois Moulins plateau in 1979, kept the name Beau-Séjour Bécot. Aromas of ripe red/black fruits with flavors of blackberry & plum with notes of spice, cedar & cacao smoky notes. Firm tannins, long finish ending with spicy notes. Tasting Sample.

Tasted off the bottling line at the Chateau first in 2017, and now. After a 8 hour decant is just singing. Love it.

Really bright and fresh out of bottle. Could use a few more years, but nice to try it while young.
