The 2023 Beau-Séjour Bécot has turned out beautifully in bottle, revealing a perfumed, fresh and finely detailed bouquet of rose petals, dark cherries, wisteria, lilac and dark berries. Medium- to full-bodied, it is layered and seamless, suave in texture, built around a pure, vibrant core of fruit framed by powdery, velvety tannins and concluding with a chalky, ethereal finish. The estate’s long-standing commitment to precision—most notably its block-by-block harvesting and increasingly precise viticulture—now places Beau-Séjour Bécot among the most compelling addresses on the Right Bank.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2023 Beau-Séjour Bécot is fabulous. Vibrant and delineated, the 2023 is a gorgeous, statuesque beauty. The precision here is just unreal. Soaring aromatics, vibrant red-toned fruit and polished tannins convey finesse. Vibrant saline notes stain the palate on the finish. Beau-Séjour Bécot is one of the very finest wines of the Right Bank in 2023.

96-97 A wine with very bright and al-dente fruit. Aromas and flavors of redcurrants and minerals with lavender and chalk. Medium to full body and a solid core of tannins integrated with the dark fruit. Toned-muscle quality to the tannins. Fresh and vibrant at the end. Pure fruit. Energy. 77% merlot and 23% cabernet franc.

A brilliant wine from this estate in 2023. Gorgeous bright purple rim. Fresh blueberries and black cherries on the nose with crayon, pencil lead, tapenade, olive and liquorice. Tangy and so alive on the palate, crystalline and pure, really clean and clear. The limestone comes through strongly in the wet stone aspects, a metallic coating of the mouth. This has a touch of tension, with mouthwatering acidity, as well as some subtle fleshiness that really expands towards the finish, where the wine settles and grows. A lovely, very singular style. Great juiciness, almost salty strawberry juice with cranberry and raspberry that really lingers. This will grow into a beauty. Tannins are flawless, there’s density but no heaviness. One of the best! The second year with a significant part of massale selection Cabernet Franc in the blend. 39hl/ha yield. 3.5pH, 68 IPT.

95-97+ A blend of 77% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Beau-Sejour Becot has a pH of 3.5. It is ageing in 55% new oak barriques, 20% one-year-old barrels, and 25% in a mix of amphorae and 20 hl oak casks. It has a deep garnet-purple color and comes galloping out of the glass with notes of crushed plums, black raspberries, and Morello cherries, opening out to a delicate undercurrent of garrigue, crushed rocks, violets, cranberry sauce, and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate is breathtakingly elegant and racy, with intense red and black berry layers and a fine-grained texture, finishing with energetic mineral sparks.

Based on 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc and aged 14 months in 55% new French oak with the balance in one-year-old barrels, foudres, and amphoras, the 2023 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a beautiful 2023 that's incredibly classic as well as very much in the style of the vintage. Pure black raspberries, spring flowers, graphite, and crushed stone all emerge from the bouquet, and it's concentrated and medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, juicy, seamless mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and fine tannins. It's all about elegance and finesse. I suspect it's going to gain some weight with 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for 30 years. It reminds me of an improved 2001. There are roughly 6,250 cases produced. Drink 2029-2053.

There’s a good, steady, juicy beat to the blackberry and black cherry compote flavors, while singed sandalwood and black tea add perfume and guile. Shows a late echo of chalky minerality. Very solid. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2038. 6,660 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
