Description

The Beau-Séjour Bécot bursts from the glass with aromas of cassis, wild berries, raw cocoa, spices, and fertile earth. This medium- to full-bodied wine is generous and fleshy, deep and layered, with a rich mid-palate supported by juicy acidity and powdery tannins. Beau-Séjour Bécot is located opposite Château Canon on the famed limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. In the cellar, foeders, amphorae, and used barrels are combined with new oak. The result is one of the finest wines this estate has produced in modern times. The 2021 vintage is a Merlot-based blend, with approximately 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon in a supporting role.

The Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot enjoys the unique beauty  and privileges of its region as it is located on  a clay and limestone plateau, centered in the prestigious Saint-Emilion.The Becot family owner of this outstanding  vineyard,  has been living in Saint Emilion since the French Revolution.

In 1969, Michel Becot bought  the Chateau Beau-Sejour, and nowadays, the property stretches over 22 HA.Since then, Michel Becot’s sons, Gerard and Dominique have developed many technical innovations in their wine storehouse,  and the vineyard in order to select the highest quality grapes, harvest them and then, hand picked them grape by grape.Under the vineyard and its 7HA. of limestone grounds lay safely in the best possible condition, over hundred thousand of well selected bottles of wine.
