Origin and character of the Beau-Séjour Bécot
Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2024 is an expressive and elegantly defined wine from the heart of Saint-Émilion. This historic Grand Cru Classé estate, known for its chalky terroir on the Saint-Émilion plateau, delivers with this vintage a wine bursting with precision, finesse, and liveliness. In a year that presented both challenges and opportunities, the team has achieved an exceptional result.
Grapes and vinification
The wine is composed of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc. The harvest took place from September 25 to October 4, with the loose bunches ensuring healthy and full ripening. The wine was aged in a mix of vessels: 55% new French oak, 15% once-used, and the remainder in large foudres and amphorae. This combination provides a subtle wood impact and allows the terroir to speak to the fullest.
Tasting note Beau-Séjour Bécot 2024
In the glass, Beau-Séjour Bécot 2024 displays a deep purple color. The nose is intense and aromatic with notes of blueberry, black cherry, lavender, rose petals, menthol, and licorice. On the palate, the wine is silky smooth and layered, with fine, ripe tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral touch that adds elegance and tension. The finish is long, fresh, and slightly saline, emphasizing the definition and class of this wine.
The increased role of Cabernet Franc in the blend gives this vintage extra aromatic lift and textural refinement. Beau-Séjour Bécot 2024 is not a wine of brute force, but of detail, balance, and understated beauty. It is a wine that makes an immediate impression and lends itself perfectly to cellar aging. Ideal to enjoy between 2029 and 2052.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Saint-Émilion Grand Cru opent met intense aroma's van blauwe bes, zwarte kers, lavendel, rozenblaadjes, menthol en zoethout en zet in de mond een zijdezachte, gelaagde textuur neer met rijpe fijne tannines, levendige zuren en een subtiele minerale, licht zoute afdronk. Dankzij die frisse zuurgraad, elegante tannines en aromatische lift van Cabernet Franc snijdt de wijn goed door vet van rund en lam, complimenteert het de aardse tonen van wild en biedt het een verfijnde tegenhanger voor gerijpte kazen. Kies voor geroosterd of gegrild rood vlees zoals een kruidenkorst ribeye, langzaam gegaard lamsvlees met rozemarijn en knoflook, of gebraden wild met jeneverbessen, en proef de wijn ook naast een rijpe tomme of comté om de smaken maximaal te versterken. |

A blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Beau-Séjour Bécot was picked in late September. Clusters were open rather than compact, lessening botrytis pressure, making it easier to wait to attain full maturity. Offering up aromas of dark berries, violets, rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, polished and layered, with beautifully refined tannin, integrated acidity and a long, aromatic finish. Once again, this impeccably managed estate has delivered a terrific performance in challenging conditions.

From: 2024 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Razor’s Edge (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Beauséjour is a wine that perfectly embodies the style of the year. A Saint-Émilion with no hard edges and exquisite balance, Beauséjour is an absolute delight. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, menthol and espresso open first, followed by a kick of savory Franc overtones that lend energy. Fine, polished tannins support the subtle yet understated finish. Beauséjour is one of the more delicate 2024s in Saint-Émilion, but there is no lack of depth. The blend is 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, with 7% press wines.
