    Beau-Séjour Bécot

    About Château Beau-Séjour Bécot

    Resting almost entirely on the grand limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, few properties within the ancient appellation have advanced the movement of modern Right Bank Bordeaux as stridently and impressively as Beau-Séjour Bécot.

    Centuries ago, under the watchful eyes of the monks of St. Martin, the vineyards of modern-day “BSB” were tended together with those of legendary neighbour Château Canon. Gérard Bécot took over the property, as we might recognise it, in 1970 and took the disastrous decision to merge all the family holding in St-Émilion into the Château. This decision saw it stripped of its classification in 1986.

    The road to redemption followed swiftly afterwards, with long-term family friend and iconic consultant Michel Rolland lobbying on their behalf. At the following classification, Beau-Séjour Bécot was promoted again in 1996.

    Juliette Bécot and Julien Barthe took the helm in 2014 and have pressed every advantage available to them from the exceptional terroir and string of strong vintages which followed. Currently, Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a strong contender for best-value wine in St-Émilion.

    Viniculture

    The 20-hectare vineyard is roughly 73% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines average 45 years of age, but with some parcels over 70 years old. The estate is located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion with a terroir of clay with deep, limestone soils. Below the surface, there is an endless array of limestone tunnels and quarries, which contributes to making the wine so special.

    92-95 A big wine, with bitter chocolate flavors, and packed ripe fruit. It is intense and very dark, a great success.

    A beautiful wine from Beau-Séjour Bécot, the color of the 2005 is an opaque purple and the wine is loaded with notes of cedar wood, Asian spice, blackberry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied and tannic, but broad, huge, and massive, this wine is still an infant and needs another 7-10 years of cellaring. This is a 40- to 50-year wine from the Bécot family.

    Wine Advocate (94+)

    My favorite Beau-Sejour-Becot to date, this sumptuous, dense blue/purple-hued 2009 reveals a blockbuster nose of blueberry pie, black fruits, licorice, forest floor, spring flowers and a hint of mocha. A blend of 70% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon made from tiny yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare, this big, inky, powerful, tannic wine is sensationally concentrated. With an unctuous texture, full-bodied power and tremendous levels of tannin (largely concealed behind a cascade of rich fruit), this is a fabulous effort from a beautifully situated St.-Emilion premier grand cru classe. It will need 5-8 years of cellaring, and should keep for three decades.

    The Wine Cellar Insider (96)

    Fleshy, sensuous, polished and packed with all the ripe black fruits, licorice, smoke, crushed rock and truffle you could ask for. Full-bodied, silky and rich, with a long, fruit-intensive finish, hold your bottles for a decade and this is going to be star!

    Wine Spectator (96-99)

    Juicy and forward in feel, with fresh plum, blackberry and anise notes. Dense, but still silky and refined in feel, revealing a long mineral echo through the finish. This is so pure, it seems almost too easy to drink already, just as you realize how ridiculously long it is.

    Vinous - Antonio Galloni (96)

    The 2019 Beau-Séjour-Bécot is a powerful, explosive wine. Dark fruit, chocolate, cured meats and earthy notes lend quite a bit of depth. Compared with its neighbors, Beau-Séjour-Bécot is dark, broad and broodingly tannic, sometimes more power than finesse. There is plenty of character, though. That much is evident. Beau-Séjour-Bécot speaks with authority as it commands attention.
