Château Beau-Séjour Bécot

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot

One of Saint-Emilion's most famous Domaines, synonymous with elegance and refinement. The vineyard dates back to the 3rd century, when the Romans planted the first vines in the region. In 1787, a first part of its name was attributed by General Jacques de Carles, "beau séjour" in memory of the pleasure he had taken in residing there.

Bought by Michel Bécot in 1969, he added his name to the estate. In particular, he restored no less than 7 hectares of limestone quarries beneath the vineyard to store old vintages in optimal conditions.

Today, his two sons Gérard and Dominique, accompanied by Julien Barthe, run the estate, having implemented numerous technical innovations in the vineyard and cellar to sublimate the fabulous terroir and, what's more, identity, of Beau-Séjour Bécot.

The Château Beau-Séjour Bécot was named Premier Grand Cru Classé as soon as the Saint-Emilion classification was created in 1955. It has retained this position ever since, thanks to the high reputation of its wines.

The Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is planted on 22 hectares of vines on Saint-Emilion's famous limestone plateau, with some clay in places. The grape varieties are 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 65% of which are new.

Description Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2018.

In a brilliant ruby-red case, the wine presents itself to us with a fine, elegant nose. Notes of black cherry, violet, white pepper, licorice and cedar blend together. A touch of truffle is subtly revealed after a good airing. The palate has an elegant attack and a full, powerful body. Tannins are well integrated and velvety. Intense fruit aromas stretch out nicely on the finish.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
