Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2018 - 1er Grand Cru Classé B

Appellation: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Owner: Bécot Family

Area: 19 hectares

Grape Varieties: 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon

A Great Wine of Saint-Émilion

The Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, located in the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation, is an exceptional wine classified as a 1st Grand Cru Classé B. Owned by the Bécot Family, this renowned estate embodies the region's winemaking tradition while incorporating modern vinification techniques to produce wines of exceptional quality.

The elegance and power of this wine make it one of the gems of Bordeaux's right bank. Its exceptional terroir, combined with family expertise, results in a wine that balances depth, finesse, and complexity.

An Exceptional Terroir

The vineyard of Château Beau-Séjour Bécot spans 19 hectares of limestone and clay-limestone soils, ideal conditions for vine cultivation. This exceptional terroir promotes the perfect maturation of the grapes, particularly the Merlot that dominates the blend with 70%, accompanied by Cabernet Franc (24%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (6%).

These grape varieties are carefully cultivated, giving the wine remarkable structure and depth, while preserving its natural elegance. The influence of Merlot imparts silky tannins and a velvety texture, while Cabernet Franc adds freshness and subtle spicy aromas.

Tasting: Complexity and Refinement

The Château Beau-Séjour Bécot impresses with its richness and aromatic complexity. Its intense purple color immediately reveals the wine's concentration.

Nose: Its bouquet is expressive and intense, revealing notes of ripe red fruits (raspberry, black cherry) mingled with woody and vanilla nuances, with a delicate touch of spices (cinnamon, clove). The oak is fine and well-integrated, reflecting perfectly controlled barrel aging.
Palate: On the palate, this wine is both full-bodied and silky. The tannins are well-integrated, offering a beautiful texture and long aromatic persistence. The ripe fruit flavors harmonize with slightly toasted and spicy notes. The finish is racy, marked by a lovely freshness and an elegant minerality, characteristic of its limestone terroir.

Food & Wine Pairings

The Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a gastronomic wine, perfect for pairing with refined dishes. Thanks to its structure and aromatic complexity, it pairs beautifully with:

Grilled or sauced red meats (beef fillet, veal chop),
Game birds or venison,
Truffle or mushroom-based dishes,
Aged cheeses (comté, truffled brie, roquefort).

Aging Potential

The Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a long-aging wine, capable of evolving gracefully over several decades. Its powerful yet silky tannins allow it to improve with time, developing tertiary aromas of undergrowth, leather, and cocoa.

Recommended aging: 10 to 20 years, or more.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C. A few hours of decanting is recommended for younger vintages.

La Tournelle de Beau-Séjour Bécot: The Second Wine

The estate's second wine, La Tournelle de Beau-Séjour Bécot, is also an exceptional wine. More accessible in its youth, it retains the signature of the grand wine with expressive ripe fruit aromas and a solid structure. This wine, with its sumptuous color and intense nose, offers excellent value for money for lovers of great Bordeaux wines.

A Family Heritage: The Bécot Family

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot belongs to the Bécot Family, a well-established name in the wine world. In addition to this iconic estate, the family also owns Château la Gomerie in Saint-Émilion and Joanin Bécot in the Castillon region. This family expertise is reflected in the quality and consistency of the wines produced, marked by a constant quest for excellence.
