This takes its time to open, is pretty subtle at first, but then explodes in juicy fruit. Clear salinity where you can feel the slate scrape of the limestone terroir, alongside well expressed aromatics with touches of peony flowers. Elegant and succulent. Second vintage with Jean de Cournuaud as technical director.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 96\u003cbr\u003e96 James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlums, currants, pine cones, mushrooms and bark on the nose. Some licorice, too. It’s medium-bodied with tightly knit tannins. Tight and fresh with fantastic tension and drive. Refined and focused. Spicy and lightly salty at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis delivers a tumble of ripe raspberry, plum and boysenberry fruit flavors, lined with violet, red tea and sweet tobacco notes that add lift and range. The long, racy, chalk-lined finish leaves a pure feel that’s not easy to achieve in this vintage. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Beau-Séjour Bécot 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 Château Canon on Saint-Émilion'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.\u003cbr\u003eRating: 94+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Beau-Séjour Bécot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975608996064,"sku":"101977","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-beau-sejour-becot-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe_1.jpg?v=1663883910","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-beau-sejour-becot-saint-emilion-grand-cru-premier-grand-cru-classe-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
