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.

The 2021 Beau-Séjour Bécot has realized all the potential it showed from barrel, unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berries and plums mingled with notes of violets, lilac, forest floor and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and pure, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by supple, polished tannins and bright acids, it’s seamless and sensual, finishing long and mouthwatering. As readers may recall, it was cropped at 35 hectoliters per hectare, delivering a blend based on Merlot with around 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon in a supporting role.
