2020 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

2020 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

The 2020 Beau Séjour Bécot demonstrates the change in style at this estate since 2018. This is so elegant and refined, with silky tannins and a cool freshness. Notes of blood orange and pure fruit join together on the finish. Utterly beautiful: a smart purchase.

Tasting notes

This has a fantastic finish with crushed blackberries and raspberries and salt undertones. It’s full-bodied, yet really racy and polished with such fine, intense tannins. Love the length to this. Very distinguished and toned. Excellent energy. 85% merlot, 13% cabernet franc and 2% cabernet sauvignon.
