Château Beau Séjour Bécot
O Château Beau-Sejour Bécot goza de um terroir único, localizado no planalto de calcário, no coração da prestigiada denominação de Saint-Emilion. Debaixo da vinha, 7 hectares de antigas e misteriosas pedreiras de calcário se abrigam.

A família Bécot, proprietária deste cru histórico desde 1969, vive em St. Emilion desde a Revolução Francesa. Desenvolveram inúmeras inovações técnicas na adega e na vinha para selecionar as melhores uvas, colhidas e escolhidas uma a uma, à mão.

Wine Spectator 93/96
“Shows a lovely, engaging feel, offering succulent blackberry and cherry compote notes. Delightfully pure, with light echoes of bramble, chalk and anise flittering through the finish. Silky and refined, this has length to burn”.

James Suckling 93/94 
“Beautiful and vivid dark fruits here with polished yet intense tannins and fruit balance. Juicy on the finish. Shows length and refinement already”.

Decanter 93
“Lovely dark chocolate and fresh mint aromas are followed by a textured, silky and soft palate. It has a sightly gourmet feel, but is very well handled, not overdone. An enjoyable wine, fresh but intense and with great balance.
Drinking window 2025-2035”.

The Wine Advocate 92/94 
“The tentative blend of the 2017 Beau-Séjour Bécot is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet 
Sauvignon. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with an earthy nose of mossy bark, truffles and fertile loam with a core of baked plums, crushed blackberries and black raspberries. The palate is medium-bodied, refreshing and delicately played with energetic fruit and plush tannins, finishing earthy”.

 “Barrel Sample. This wine revels in its soft black fruit flavors. Supported by structured tannins that are already well integrated, it shows touches of wood and spice at the end. This is going to be generous, fruity wine from 2023”.
