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 2022 Beau-Séjour Bécot has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of sweet wild berries mingled with rose petals, orange zest, violets, gentian and espresso roast, it's full-bodied, supple and suave, with a deep core of cool, layered fruit, beautifully vibrant flavors and polished structuring tannins, concluding with a saline finish. As I wrote when I tasted it from barrel, this is a Saint-Émilion of breathtaking perfume and harmony that will be worth a special effort to seek out.
