Beau-Séjour Becot 2005 is a mature Right Bank Bordeaux from the appellation of St-Émilion. Located just west of St-Émilion itself amid the enviable limestone terroir of the Saint-Martin de Mazerat plateau, Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a Premier Grand Cru Classé B property run by third-generation owner Juliette Bécot and here husband Julien Barthe, along with Juliette’s cousins Pierre and Caroline Bécot. The 2005 is a blend of 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. "This has a gorgeous bouquet, probably the best that the Bécot family made up until that point. It brims over with redcurrant, cranberry and red plum, hints of rose petal and ripe Satsuma with the mineralité tucked in just underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine yet succulent tannin. There is a fresh line of acidity that is interwoven into dark berry fruit that counterbalances a somewhat structured finish laced with leather, allspice and just a touch of white pepper. This boasts impressive length, noticeably more than any earlier vintages." Vinous, 2018

The 2005 Beau-Séjour Bécot was picked between 27 September and 5 October. This has a gorgeous bouquet, probably the best that the Bécot family made up until that point. It brims over with redcurrant, cranberry and red plum, hints of rose petal and ripe Satsuma with the mineralité tucked in just underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine yet succulent tannin. There is a fresh line of acidity that is interwoven into dark berry fruit that counterbalances a somewhat structured finish laced with leather, allspice and just a touch of white pepper. This boasts impressive length, noticeably more than any earlier vintages. This excellent Saint-Émilion is just opening for business but it should offer two decades of drinking pleasure. Tasted at the château.
