Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé estate located immediately west of the magical town of Saint-Émilion on the Saint-Martin de Mazerat limestone plateau Saint-Émilion.
Cultivated since the ancient Roman times, the estate was officially named Beauséjour in 1787 by General Jacques de Carle in commemoration for his pleasure at staying there. Beau-Séjour aptly meaning “Lovely Stay”.

It was acquired in 1969 by Michel Bécot, who added the family name to the estate and expanded the vineyards. Today, the property is run by the sixth generation, with Juliette Bécot and her husband spearheading modernization in the vineyard and cellars

The estate spans 22 hectares and is renowned for producing elegant, Merlot-dominant wines with remarkable purity, velvety tannins, and fresh, chalky minerality.

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.
