Château Beau-Séjour Bécot
Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is located in the heart of the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation, on the Saint-Martin de Mazerat plateau in the Bordeaux region. Michel Bécot, from a family of winegrowers established in Saint-Emilion since 1760, has owned Château Beau-Séjour Bécot since 1929. In 1979, with the acquisition of 4 hectares 5 on the Trois Moulins plateau, the Bécot family further extended the estate. The estate, which took the name Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, now covers 16 hectares 60 and represents a consistent whole on a perfectly homogenous terroir.

In 1985, Michel Bécot retired and entrusted the management of Château Beau-Séjour Bécot to his two sons Gérard and Dominique, who turned it into one of the jewels of the AOC Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.

"It's unanimously acclaimed: scintillating, fascinating, magnificent..."

"The notions of freshness, precision and complexity are evident from the very first whiff. BSB 2021 is full of energy, tension, but also a slight sweetness. A wine of clarity, high-definition, with many details that only reinforce its relevance. The tannins, coupled with the acid structure, provide a very good foundation, and the wine is literally on a roll. Not necessarily in terms of power, but above all in terms of temperament, energy, salivation, crystallinity and persistence. And, above all, Beau-Séjour Bécot's nature is there, in little winks (timid hints of chocolate and ripe dark berries) that clearly remind us where we are. A sparkling, sapid, even thirst-quenching wine that makes you want to have another glass... at the very least!"

"Subtlety and elegance!"

"Once again, this estate impresses with its burst of black fruits, delicately spicy notes, mentholated freshness and floral foundation (violet, lilac and iris) that never fails. On the palate, everything is done smoothly, with a juicy, fleshy texture underpinned by chalky acidity and incredibly precise tannins. It's emotional, so precise, crystalline and dense at the same time. Exceptional tannic structure. An aesthetic peak. Beau-Séjour Bécot, the closest to its terroir and the most racy. Bravo! Ageing potential: for grandchildren! Magnificent value for money for the lucky recipients " (Yohan Castaing 2021)

"Noblesse and depth of fruit alone embody a majestic, terribly distinguished nose! The attack offers great textural tenderness without ever slackening, and a colossal yet highly nuanced, honeycombed volume... O sweet voluptuousness " (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - Gault Millau) Delivery in wooden case for all orders of 12 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).
