The 2020 Beau-Sejour Becot is a dense, powerful wine. A rush of black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and sweet oak builds as this towering, vertically explosive Saint-Émilion opens in the glass. This is an especially broad, expansive Saint-Émilion, much of that attributable to the clay in these soils. The 2020 is magnificent in its intensity and overall volume. Superb. 12/2022

A terrific performance for an estate on a continuing upward trajectory, the 2020 Beau-Séjour Bécot unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of cherries and blackberries mingled with violets and spices. Medium to full-bodied, pure and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with a vibrant core of fruit, polished tannins and a long, sapid finish. The 2020 is a blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, some two-thirds of which was matured in new oak, with the balance in tanks, amphorae and foudres. 04/2023

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez intense, fin, fruité, floral, parfumé et noble. Très pur à l'agitation du verre. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, extrêmement aromatique et fondant au milieu, avec du goût et des nuances nobles variant de gras à énergiques, le vin s'étire long, complexe en finale, sur un beau grain de tannin. Assemblage : 85 % merlot, 13 % cabernet franc, 2 % cabernet sauvignon. Degré d'alcool : 14°5 - pH : 3,45. Rendement : 42 hl/ha.

This has a fantastic finish with crushed blackberries and raspberries and salt undertones. It’s full-bodied, yet really racy and polished with such fine, intense tannins. Love the length to this. Very distinguished and toned. Excellent energy. 85% merlot, 13% cabernet franc and 2% cabernet sauvignon. 06/2021
