Beau Sejour Becot 2019 (RP94)

The 2019 Beau-Sejour Becot has turned out nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, wild berries, raw cocoa, spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it’s deep and layered, with a rich mid-palate that’s underpinned by succulent acids and powdery tannins. Located opposite Chateau Canon on Saint-Emilion’s limestone plateau, there’s some significant restructuring going on in the vineyards here, and in the cellar, foudres, amphorae and once-used barrels complement new oak: the result is the best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. 2025 – 2050
