The Story
A renowned Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé with expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet, licorice, and graphite. Silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and remarkable precision create an elegant, age-worthy Bordeaux with exceptional depth and a lingering finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef tenderloin, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or wild mushroom risotto.
96 Points - Vinous
The 2021 Beau-Séjour Bécot is powerful, dense and quite savory, with the Franc very much in evidence. Dark red cherry, blood orange, spice, mint, rose petal, incense and scorched earth give this deep, layered Saint-Émilion tons of flavor complexity. This is such a distinctive and compelling wine. – Antonio Galloni
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Beau-Séjour Bécot has realized all the potential it showed from barrel, unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berries and plums mingled with notions of violets, lilac, forest floor and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and pure, with a fleshy core of fruit that's framed by supple, polished tannins and bright acids, it's seamless and sensual, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish. As readers may remember, it was cropped at 35 hectoliters per hectare, delivering a blend based on Merlot with some 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon in a supporting role.
94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
An absolutely brilliant wine in the vintage, the 2021 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot has a concentrated, medium-bodied style that never puts a foot wrong. Black raspberries, flowers, chalky minerality, and subtle truffly notes all define this vibrant 2021, and it has beautifully integrated tannins. As always with this terroir, it's not a blockbuster yet shines for its finesse, elegance, and complexity.
94 Points - James Suckling
Lots of blue fruit with violets and a hint of boysenberry. Medium body, integrated and fine tannins and a cool, linear finish. Solid length and brightness.
