Beausejour Becot 1998 is a compelling example of a Bordeaux blend, crafted primarily from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This wine exhibits a complex structure, showcasing aromas of dark fruit, integrated oak, and subtle earthiness. The palate reveals layers of blackberry, plum, and hints of spice, with well-defined tannins contributing to its longevity. Beausejour Becot has been in the ownership of the Bécot family for generations, a testament to their commitment to quality and tradition in wine-making.
The 1998 Beau-Séjour Bécot was picked between 29 September and 5 October. The colour is more youthful than either the 1995 or 1996 and the nose certainly more vibrant. cranberry and strawberry fruit, fine purity and well integrated oak. There is a sense of purpose about these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fine cohesion and plenty of melted red berry fruit laced with tobacco, allspice and white pepper. In the context of this vertical, I see this 1998 as a benchmark – not the greatest ever, but a sign of things to come. Tasted at the château. - Neil Martin
