A Premier Expression of Saint-Émilion

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2019 is a Premier Grand Cru Classé from the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation, known for producing some of Bordeaux’s most revered wines. This vintage showcases the exceptional terroir of the limestone plateau, combined with the estate’s meticulous craftsmanship, to produce a wine of unparalleled elegance and complexity.

Tasting Notes:

The 2019 vintage of Château Beau-Séjour Bécot opens with a rich and captivating bouquet of black cherries, dark plums, and cassis, intertwined with notes of violets, graphite, and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is opulent yet refined, displaying velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that supports the luscious fruit. Subtle flavors of licorice, cocoa, and a hint of minerality emerge, leading to a long and graceful finish.

Awards and Recognition:

97 Points, James Suckling
96 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
A standout Premier Grand Cru Classé, lauded for its finesse and longevity.

Food Pairing:

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2019 pairs beautifully with a range of fine dishes, including roast lamb, beef Wellington, and duck confit. The wine’s depth and richness also make it a wonderful complement to truffle-based dishes, wild game, and aged cheeses like Comté or Stilton.

Aging Potential:

This wine is designed to age gracefully. While it offers immense pleasure in its youth, its tannins will continue to soften, and its complexity will deepen with 15 to 25 years of cellaring. As it matures, expect the primary fruit flavors to evolve into secondary notes of leather, tobacco, and forest floor.

Producer and History:

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot has a storied history dating back to the 18th century. Situated on the famed limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, the estate has been owned by the Bécot family since 1969. Under their stewardship, it has risen to the ranks of Premier Grand Cru Classé, producing wines of exceptional quality that reflect the terroir’s unique characteristics.

Climate, Terroir, and Region:

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is located on Saint-Émilion’s prized limestone plateau, known for its ability to produce wines with structure, minerality, and aging potential. The region enjoys a temperate maritime climate, moderated by its proximity to the Dordogne River, which helps to balance the warmth of the growing season with cool breezes. The combination of clay-limestone soils and this microclimate results in wines that are both powerful and elegant, with bright acidity and refined tannins.

Grape Variety:

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2019 is crafted from a blend dominated by Merlot, which brings richness and roundness to the wine. Cabernet Franc adds elegance and aromatic complexity, while Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure and depth. This blend is a hallmark of the Saint-Émilion style, producing wines that are bold yet beautifully balanced.

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2019 is a timeless expression of Saint-Émilion’s terroir and winemaking tradition, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a wine of both prestige and pleasure.
