Château Beau Séjour-Bécot 2006 - 1er Grand Cru Classé
Ratings: Robert Parker 91, Wine Spectator 90, Decanter 4****, RVF 18.5/20, Guide Hachette 3*** (Exceptional Wine), Gault Millau 17.5/20, B&D 16.5/20
“What can one say about this wine, other than that it achieves perfection at every stage of tasting? The powerful nose evokes ripe grapes and fresh wood, cherry and prune, with a hint of mint. The palate is fresh, soft, and full-bodied, supported by dense, promising tannins. Wines as complex and refined as this are never better than when paired with simple dishes like a ribeye steak with porcini mushrooms.” (Guide Hachette de Vins 2010).

About the estate:
Beautifully situated in the central-western part of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau, the vineyard is masterfully managed by the Bécot brothers, Dominique and Gérard, who produce an expressive wine characterized by integrity and depth. Gérard Bécot officially retired on January 2, 2014. General management has been entrusted to his son-in-law, Julien Barthe, husband of Juliette Bécot, who continues to oversee the winemaking process. Dominique Bécot, Gérard’s brother, remains at the helm of the vineyard. His children, Pierre and Caroline, also work on the estate. In January 2014, Beauséjour acquired Château Haut-Pourret, a 2.5-hectare property on the southern slope, whose grapes will be vinified in the La Gomerie cellar under the label Le Bécot de Beau-Séjour. Winemaking methods are evolving, aiming for an elegant expression of the fruit while seeking to add volume to the firmness and length of the wines produced from the limestone terroir. Maintaining its status as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 2012, the château obtained authorization to incorporate the La Gomerie parcel into its vineyard registry.

Review by Mr. JEREMIE S. Posted on 02/19/2018
A wine of great class, which was still in its closed phase in 2016. It is currently at its peak or even past its peak, but remains at an excellent level; it is a tremendous pleasure: beautiful density with fine, silky tannins and a lovely finish
