Le Figaro
“A model of elegance!”
“Very aromatic with crushed berries and blackberries. Notes of damp earth and great intensity. Decadent. Full-bodied, layered, intense, and very velvety. Extremely long and intense. A sexy, opulent wine, yet balanced and tight. One of the best of all time. Needs at least 3 to 5 years in the bottle.” (James Suckling 2018) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated (2018 guide) 95/100 (Extraordinary wine)
Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the nose opens with notes of blackberries, black cherries, and crushed black plums, with hints of spice cabinet, lavender, and cedar. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, the wine is rich, velvety, and decadent on the palate, with a firm backbone and a long, spicy finish. Yum!

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2018 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
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 craft an expressive wine characterized by integrity and density. Gérard Bécot officially retired on January 2, 2014. Overall 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 body to the firmness and length of wines produced from limestone soils. Maintaining its status as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 2012, the château obtained authorization to incorporate the La Gomerie parcel into its land registry.

About the wine:
This family-owned estate, located on one of Saint-Émilion’s highest points, has produced a rich and opulent wine, brimming with the aromas of Cabernet Franc and generous Merlot. Notes of blackberries and black plums are underpinned by firm tannins that promise excellent aging potential. Enjoy this powerful wine starting in 2025.

About the wine:
Very aromatic, with crushed berries and blackberries. Notes of damp earth and great intensity. Decadent. Full-bodied, layered, intense, and very velvety. Extremely long and intense. A sexy, opulent wine that is nonetheless balanced and tight. One of the best of all time. Needs at least 3 to 5 years in the bottle.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 95/100
About the wine:
The color is dark, with an intense nose, as usual. The wine is dense, elegant, refined, and has great length, though it lacks its usual body and opulence. It is the most elegant wine in a long time, though it may confuse its most devoted fans.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 96/100
About the wine:
Clearly the best ever produced at Beau-Séjour Bécot. You know it the moment you experience the full richness of its aromas of flowers, licorice, smoke, black and red plums, black cherry, espresso, and forest notes. Once the wine reaches your palate, it really takes off with its sensual textures, silky tannins, and a long, concentrated layer of fresh, sweet, and perfectly ripe fruit. As the wine lingers on the palate, the flavors expand, and a sensation of crushed stone also makes its presence felt.
Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing
Wine rated 96/100
About the wine:
Coffee, a hint of cedar, black cherry, and blackcurrant on the nose, which has a lovely freshness. Juicy, with a smooth attack and a lingering finish featuring notes of ripe black fruits. Elegant and charming.
