Decided to try this early with my somm buddy. Great bottle of wine. I liked Leve's notes. I'll hold my remaining bottles until 2026+. You can still find this out there for $63. Also, super hopeful the Beausejour Duffau is this elevated. Cheers.

Aromas of cassis, cherry and black plum. A mélange of fresh ripe raspberry, Maraschino cherries, and blueberry flavors with a light licorice tinge on the finish. Fine tannins and quite round and soft. Impressive.

2023 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/4/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 97 points

The intensity, length, and purity are impossible to ignore this year. The wine offers strong floral characteristics coupled with sweet, ripe, red cherries, licorice, black raspberries, and a hint of cocoa. The wine is silky, elegant, long, and refined. The fruit is incredibly, soft, sweet, and pure. The key point in the vintage was their water-retentive, limestone terroir that nourished the vines during the dry part of the growing season. 2023 is the first vintage produced in the estates new cellars, which allowed for precision wine making, which was needed in this difficult vintage. The aging is different starting with the 2023 as well, now the wine is aged in 55% new, French oak barrels, with 20% of the harvest aging in foudres. The wine blends 77% Merlot, with 22% Cabernet Franc. 14.1%, ABV, 3.5 pH. The harvest took place, September 7 - October 4. Drink from 2029-2060. 96-98 Pts.

The Beau-Sejour Becot felt like a left bank with a very Cab Sauv nose. There was a very strong ferric note too initially which morphed into a seaweed-iodine note as it got more air in the decanter. The intrinsic quality is fair but it was heavily outshone by the La Chapelle.

Medium-full body. Integrated medium tannins. High acid. Floral aroma. Intense fruit (raspberry, wild red fruits). Still seems young--better to let it age longer.

95-97 Punkte. Tiefdunkel und tiefgründig; steinig, rote Frucht, untermalt von kreidiger Mineralik; straffer Gaumen, delikate Frucht, federleicht und doch mit Konzentration, viel Dynamik; frisch, salin und würzig im Abgang auf Sauerkirschen. Ein tänzerischer Beau-Séjour Becot! (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 14 Alkohol)

Noir fruit, salumi, milk chocolate, flower shop and wet earth. Long and panoramic, with layered, silky tannins. Full body with a backend that is polished. Stunning fruit and not in a dumb phase at all; however, this could definitely go the distance. A pure joy. Drink 2026 -.

Great balance between primary, secondary and tertiary flavors!
Medium ruby
On the nose the intensity is medium + with aromas of fresh and cooked blackberries, black and red plums, black cherries, tobacco, graphite, cedar, dried spices. Light but delicious forest floor, earthy.
On the palate the wine is dry with medium + acidity and tannins. The tannins were well integrated and present. H alcohol and medium + body. The flavor intensity is medium + and the finish is long.
The quality is very good +. Perfect drinking window now but will age much further. I really like this wine!

Bouteille et bouchon en parfait état.
Ouvert 4 heures avant puis dégusté durant 3 heures.
Grosse variété d’arômes, cerises, cassis, épices douces, coco, fumée.
La bouche est structurée avec pas mal de tanins mais bien équilibrée, soyeuse et longue.
À 1/4 de siècle, le vin est totalement à son apogée et devrait y rester quelques années encore.
Excellent.

Very tight nose, even after 45 in the glass. Light to medium body, hints of minerals, tart blackberry, iodine and graphite. Tannins aren’t really woven into the rest of the wine. Lacks balance. I usually prefer Bordeaux, but admit that my guests and I preferred a 2016 Hess Selection Napa Cab (PNP) over this wine.
I see lot’s of suggestions to hold and wait, we’ll see…

4/13/2024 - Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: NR

Second time with this and I'm still finding it a little compact and closed in on itself and harder to get a read on than usual. Structurally it has that clenched bite and piercing, snappy fruit in both red and black tones that make up the essential ingredients of what I love about the Becot style. There is some tight-grained cedar from the oak but the glossy fruit mostly smooths it over. Whatever else it's got is still packed into the core.

50 acre vineyard, Limestone plateau, 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. 14% natural alcohol.

Nose: slightly hot on the nose, cedar, berries, fresh, sweetness, cloves

Silky smooth, good structure, long and chewy finish, very nice.
Black cherry, blueberry, currant, plum, drinking nicely and should continue to improve for the next 10 years.

A nose you can sit and savor featuring black cherry compote, subtle oak, mulling spice, and a hint of cassis or fig.

Front palate of blackberry, oak, and tobacco. Velvety tannins with a touch of grip. Black cherry and burnt vanilla on the edges. Finish has more oak, with hints of licorice and cassis or rich plum.

Earthy full bodied wine. Sweet with definate dark fruit and spice with those oaky and earthy notes you get from so many great Saint Emilions.

Second bottle of a case of six bought on auction two years ago. Even better than last bottle. Dark fruit, plum, blackberry, boysenberry, dark cherry, earth, chocolate, cocoa, tobacco, and spices, with good, medium-level acidity, fine, well integrated tannin, and very good length. Medium-bodied and well-balanced, and light on its feet. Great with food (in our case herb-marinated escalope of turkey). Better on day one than on day two. In a good place; drink now.

Very nice and balanced. Good acidity, smooth tannins, sweet berries and spices. The oak and tannins could integrate a bit more. The palate is definitely on the light side. For me, I would drink now and store other vintages. Nice but very 2017ish, 90.

I liked this but wasn’t blown away. First time trying this chateau and I have to agree with the plurality of previous reviews that this just lacks a bit of something. Still has a nice medium-dark purple red color. The initial nose was a little soft, with some very fruit forward notes of cassis, black currant and cherries. Not a lot of tannin here, very much sanded down. In the first 30 minutes of drinking (undecanted) I almost would’ve guessed California cab. After an a hour or so it developed a bit of secondary aroma with tobacco, cedar and a bit wet earth balancing out the fruit and elevated the wine a point or so in my opinion. Honestly not sure this rises to the level of other Grand Cru Classe B but it’s a contender. Good, just not amazing - but not bad for the price.
