Château Beau-Séjour Bécot ligger på det berømte kalkstensplateau i hjertet af Saint-Émilion – et terroir, der i århundreder har givet vine med en særlig dybde og friskhed. Familien Bécot har haft rødder her siden den franske revolution og har gennem generationer været med til at præge appellationens historie. I 1969 købte Michel Bécot selve Château Beau-Séjour og forenede det med familiens eksisterende jord, så ejendommen i dag dækker omkring 20 hektar. Under vinmarkerne gemmer sig syv hektar gamle kalkstensgange, hvor tusinder af flasker hviler i ideelle forhold – et poetisk billede på, hvordan fortid og nutid mødes i dette slot.
I dag drives Beau-Séjour Bécot af sjette generation, som med samme passion og respekt for jorden fortsætter familiens arbejde. Gérard og Dominique Bécot moderniserede både mark og kælder med skånsomme metoder og minutiøs sortering af druerne, mens den yngre generation har videreført husets filosofi om balance mellem tradition og innovation. Vinen bærer tydeligt præg af kalkstenen: en rig, mørkfrugtet Merlot med Cabernet Francs løft og Cabernet Sauvignons rygrad. Det er en vin, der forener Saint-Émilions klassiske elegance med Beau-Séjour Bécots egen signatur af energi, præcision og varme.

Plums, currants, pine cones, mushrooms and bark on the nose. Some licorice, too. It’s medium-bodied with tightly knit tannins. Tight and fresh with fantastic tension and drive. Refined and focused. Spicy and lightly salty at the end. Try in 2026.
The 2019 Beau-Séjour Bécot has turned out nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, wild berries, raw cocoa, spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's deep and layered, with a rich mid-palate that's underpinned by succulent acids and powdery tannins. Located opposite Château Canon on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau, there's some significant restructuring going on in the vineyards here, and in the cellar, foudres, amphorae and once-used barrels complement new oak: the result is the best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. 94+
The 2019 Beau-Séjour-Bécot is a powerful, explosive wine. Dark fruit, chocolate, cured meats and earthy notes lend quite a bit of depth. Compared with its neighbors, Beau-Séjour-Bécot is dark, broad and broodingly tannic, sometimes more power than finesse. There is plenty of character, though. That much is evident. Beau-Séjour-Bécot speaks with authority as it commands attention.
