      Reviews:

      • Vinous: The nose is vibrant with dark berry, blackberry and strawberry preserve, well defined and generous with faint smoky notes developing. The palate is medium-bodied, spicy on the entry with moderate weight, fleshy but just attenuating slightly towards the finish. It has an easy-going sensibility that surprised me, though I suspect that with decanting this would gain more substance.

      Producer Information

      Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a Bordeaux producer in Saint-Émilion, with a Premier Grand Cru Classé B status based on the 1955 classification. The grand vin is, as one would expect here, a Merlot-dominant blend, as is the second wine, Petit Bécot (formerly Tournelle de Beau-Séjour Bécot). The 22 hectares (54 acres) of vineyards have an average vine age of around 45 years. Some Merlot vines are more than 70 years old. Merlot accounts for around 80 percent of plantings, with around 15 percent Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. Total annual production is around 80,000 bottles. In the winery, 20 to 40 percent of the fruit is whole-cluster fermented. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, after around four days of cold maceration. Most of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel, spending around four months on its lees. For the grand vin, most of the wine is matured in French oak barrels for 16 to 20 months before bottling. A small component is aged in clay amphorae. The Bécot family also makes Château La Gomerie, a garage wine made with 100-percent Merlot from an adjacent 2.5-hectare (6-acre) vineyard. It was made in very limited quantities (roughly 1000 cases annually) and made its debut with the 1995 vintage – the year the plot was acquired. Then a fire at La Gomerie destroyed much of the château and cellars, and the plot was integrated for a few years into the vineyard of Beau-Séjour-Bécot. La Gomerie was re-introduced several years later, although production is very limited. Another property, Château Joanin Bécot, forms part of the wider Beau-Séjour-Becot portfolio. Located in Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, the estate comprises 12 hectares (30 acres) of vines and sits on a clay-limestone plateau just west of Saint-Philippe-d'Aiguille (a small town 12km/7 miles due east of Saint-Émilion).
