Beau-Sejour Becot, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2020

Beau-Sejour Becot

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 97.0

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.

William Kelley

A terrific performance for an estate on a continuing upward trajectory, the 2020 Beau-Séjour Bécot unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of cherries and blackberries mingled with violets and spices. Medium to full-bodied, pure and layered, its deep and concentrated, with a vibrant core of fruit, polished tannins and a long, sapid finish. The 2020 is a blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, some two-thirds of which was matured in new oak, with the balance in tanks, amphorae and foudres.

A brilliant wine thats up with the finest to date from this incredible terroir, the 2020 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot checks in as 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. Revealing a vivid purple hue as well as a drop-dead gorgeous nose of black raspberries, cassis, violets, and a liquid rock-like sense of minerality, it’s medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with ultra-fine tannins and perfect balance. This beauty deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve gracefully over the following two decades or more. Dont miss it.
