Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 2015

Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot is located just to the west of the medieval town of Saint-Emilion, in the very heart of this prestigious appellation.

The estate was named Beau-Sejour in 1787 by General Jacques de Carle, the proprietor at the time. Michel Becot bought the estate from Doctor Jean Fagouet in 1969 and further increased the area under vine from 10.5 hectares to 15 by acquiring 4.5 hectares on the Trois Moulins plateau in 1979. The chateau then took on the name of Beau-Sejour Becot.

96 Points – Wine Enthusiast

This family-owned property at one of the high points in Saint-milion 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.

95 Points – Wine Spectator

This brims with ripe, juicy plum, blackberry and aa 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.

95 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

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 – 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 best ever.

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.
