Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 97

Drink To: 2028-2050

Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot enjoys a unique terroir, which is located on the calcareous plain in the heart of the prestigious Saint-Emilion. The Becot family, owners of this historic cru, have lived in Saint-Emilion since the French Revolution. In 1969, Michel Becot acquired the estate and today this covers about 20 acres. His two sons, Gerard and Dominique, developed the technical innovations in the vinyard to select the best grapes, collect and sort the grapes by hand. Under the vineyard, 7 acres of ancient and mysterious calcareous quarries shelter, in ideal conditions, several thousands bottles. Today, the sixth generation, animated by the same passion and tied to the family values, implement everything they can to keep themselves amongst the most important crus in the world.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Antonio Galloni

The 2020 Beau-Sejour Becot is a dense, powerful wine. A rush of black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and sweet oak builds as this towering, vertically explosive Saint-Emilion opens in the glass. This is an especially broad, expansive Saint-Emilion, much of that attributable to the clay in these soils. The 2020 is magnificent in its intensity and overall volume. Superb.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Displaying a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Beau-Sejour Becot prances out of the glass with showy scents of preserved plums, chocolate-covered cherries, wild blueberries and raspberry preserves, plus suggestions of rose oil, ground cloves and licorice. The elegantly crafted, medium-bodied palate shimmers with energy, offering a fantastic intensity of crunchy red and black fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and perfumed. Simply stunning.

85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fully blended with 10% press wine and no SO2 (at this stage). Cask sample. Absolute expression of place with stony, chalky notes superimposed over the berry fruit. Lovely texture of tannin, the palate fine, fresh, fruity and persistent. Really elegant and digeste. Reinforces the change of style seen since 2017. (JL)
