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 - Wine Enthusiast
This family-owned property at one of the high points in Saint-Émilion has made a rich, opulent wine, full of perfumed Cabernet Franc and generous Merlot. Ripe blackberries and dark plums are permeated with some serious tannins for aging. Drink this powerful wine from 2025.
95 Points - James Suckling
Very perfumed with crushed berries and blackberries. Wet earth and great intensity. Decadent. Full-bodied, layered and very velvety and intense. Extremely long and intense. A sexy and opulent wine yet poised and tight. One of the best ever. Needs at least three to five years of bottle age.

The 2015 Beau-Sejour Bécot is composed of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 85% new and 15% one-year-old French oak for 17 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the nose opens with blackberries, black cherries and crushed black plums with touches of spice box, lavender and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, it's rich, velvety and decadent in the mouth with a firm backbone and long, spicy finish. Yum!
95 Points - Wine Spectator
This brims with ripe, juicy plum, blackberry and açaí berry flavors, studded with licorice and fruitcake notes and backed by a wonderfully integrated apple wood detail through the finish. Pumps a lot of fruit out but does so energetically. Best from 2020 through 2035.
94 Points - Decanter
Deep and reserved on the nose but a fragrant palate. Powerful but refined tannic base. Beautiful smooth texture with the freshness from the limestone terroir. Persistent finish.
