Château Beausejour Becot, 2006
Availability:In stock
Vintage: 2006
Size: 750ml
Ratings: Robert Parker Wine Advocate 91, Wine Enthusiast 94, Wine Spectator 90
Grape Blend: 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon
This forty-acre vineyard, primarily on the limestone plateau of St.-Emilion, has turned out a very successful wine, which one expects from the Becot family, who have always been committed to quality. A blend of 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is deep ruby/purple with a sweet nose of graphite, charcoal, black currant and black cherry fruit. It has an attractive, subtle smokiness, nicely restrained new oak, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and outstanding concentration and length.

Description
Description
Located immediately west of the magical town of Saint-Émilion on the Saint-Martin de Mazerat limestone plateau, Beau-Séjour Bécot is in the heart of the appellation.
The estate has been devoted to winemaking since the Gallo-Roman period. In 1787, General Jacques de Carles, wishing to commemorate for all time the pleasure that he enjoyed staying there, named the estate “Beau-Séjour” (meaning “lovely stay”).
Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot is a great style of Saint Emilion combining richness, soft textures, and minerality
