2018 Ch Beau-Séjour Bécot, 1er Grand Cru Classé, St Emilion

En Primeur In Bond 6x75cl


Tasting Notes

"Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 96/100
The 2018 Beau-Séjour Bécot has really closed down since I tasted it en primeur. Inky red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint and blood orange gradually open in the glass, all framed by veins of chalky minerality. The 2018 is a fabulous wine in the making, but readers have to be patient. Time in a decanter or simply in the glass helps to bring out the wine's considerable depth. Drnk 2026 to 2043 Reviewed Mar 2021

Neal Martin, Vinous.com 93/100
The 2018 Beau-Séjour Bécot is nicely detailed on the nose of pixelated black fruit laced with raspberry and subtle floral scents; back notes of marmalade come through with aeration. The pliant palate is medium-bodied with luscious tannins disguising the structure behind this Saint-Emilion. I suspect that it might close up for a period before blossoming with bottle age. This is a sophisticated and very well crafted wine that will age with style and panache. Drink 2024 to 2045 Reviewed Mar 2021

Vineyard Information

Beau-Séjour Bécot is one of the leading 1er Grand Cru Classé B châteaux and is a wonderful place to visit due to the vast expanse of limestone caves directly under the vines. Beau-Séjour Bécot's 17 hectares are located on a limestone plateau in the north-west part of the appellation right next to the town and are planted with 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is matured in oak barrels (50-70% new) for 18-20 months.
