Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 96

Drink To: 2028-2058

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.

Neal Martin

The 2020 Beausejour Becot has a winsome bouquet with precise, focused and mineral-driven red fruit that shimmers with tension. The palate is medium-bodied with seamlessly integrated oak and hints of black pepper and cedar. It fans out toward the finish with supreme confidence. The terroir really comes through in this wine. This is not to be underestimated. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

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.

20% whole bunch. Tasted blind. Deep greyish crimson. Dark with black fruits and a more savoury char. But not over-oaked. Fresh and juicy on the palate, much more vibrant than I had expected and the tannins are fine-boned, adding to the freshness. A bit tart on the finish. (JH)
