“The 2024 is magnificent” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
We are pleased to present the 2024 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, a shining example of the new era in Bordeaux. This Saint-Émilion estate practices meticulous vineyard management as its primary focus in crafting great wines. Antonio Galloni of Vinous describes the 2024 as “hauntingly beautiful,” praising its dynamic energy and explosive character. William Kelley of the Wine Advocate similarly praises the estate, calling it “impeccably managed” and having delivered a “terrific performance”

"The 2024 Beau-Séjour Bécot is deep, vivid and wonderfully alive. Dynamic and explosive, with striking inner perfume, BeauSéjour Bécot is hauntingly beautiful. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, menthol, licorice and rose petal soar out of the glass. Silky, refined tannins add to the wine's finesse. The increase of Cabernet Franc in the blend has added aromatic depth and textural elegance. There's a feeling of transparency here that is impossible to miss. Beau-Séjour Bécot has grown into one of the most distinctive wines in Bordeaux. Simply put, the 2024 is magnificent. That's all there is to it. Élevage is 55% in new oak, 15% in once-used barrels and the rest in 20HL casks. Tasted two times."
95-97 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"A blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Beau-Séjour Bécot was picked in late September. Clusters were open rather than compact, lessening botrytis pressure, making it easier to wait to attain full maturity. Offering up aromas of dark berries, violets, rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, polished and layered, with beautifully refined tannin, integrated acidity and a long, aromatic finish. Once again, this impeccably managed estate has delivered a terrific performance in challenging conditions."
93-95 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate
