1er Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion |  80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Der Jahrgang 2016 ist etwas opulenter als sein überaus hervorragender Vorgängerjahrgang 2015. Bei zwei Top-Jahrgängen in Folge ist oft der zweite der gefeiertere, obwohl ich persönlich mehr der 15er-Fan bin.Dunkles, süßliches Fruchtbouquet nach Kirschen, eingelegten Pflaumen, Cassis, unterlegt von  Tabaknoten, Schokolade und Schwarztee. Feinkörnige, sanfte Tanninstruktur, dunkelfruchtiges, würziges, langes Finale. Wine Advocate-Robert Parker: 95/100Wine Enthusiast: 95-97/100James Suckling: 96/100Gerstl: 19/20Neal Martin:  95/100

1er Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion | 80% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet SauvignonFalstaff über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2018:  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische schwarze Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Pflaumen, ätherische Nuancen, kaum spürbare Holzkomponente. Saftig, rund und harmonisch, seidiges, tragendes Tannin, mineralisch, mit feiner Säurestruktur ausgestattet, bei allem Volumen durchaus delikat, gute Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial."Weinwisser über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2018:  "Tiefes Purpur mit undurchsichtiger Mitte und zartem rubinrotem Rand. Was für ein verführerisches Waldhimbeerbouquet, dahinter Alpenheidelbeeren und Veilchenparfüm. Am sublimen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, stützendes reifes Tannin und herrliche Extraktsüße. Im aromatischen Finale ein langes Crescendo mit roten und blauen Beeren, heller Tabak und zarte Graphitspuren. Das Geheimnis dieses Jahres liegt in der unglaublichen Finesse!"Wine Enthusiast über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2018:  "Big, rich and packed with smoky black fruits, this is not a shy wine. Dark chocolate and black-plum flavors mingle with the solid structure and concentrated tannins. With its ripe, juicy fruitiness at the end, the wine has all the elements in place. Let it age and drink from 2027. "

1er Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion |  80% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet SauvignonDecanter über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2019:  "Rich plum colour. 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. A yield of 46hl/ha. 65% new oak, with a mix of barrels and 20hl casks. 3.77pH. Harvest 18-21 September, with all the Merlots in 3.5 days instead of the usual 11 days (and in fact stretched over one month in 2018), with just 20 minutes from picking to vat. Thomas Duclos consultant. Drinking Window 2028 - 2044"Gerstl über  Beau-Séjour Bécot 2019:  "Zart und dezent schwarzbeerig, ein klassischer und sehr edler St. Emilion Duft, ganz auf der angenehm kühlen Seite. Ein wunderbar schlanker Finessenwein, saftig, rassig, von einem feinen Tanningerüst getragen, sehr präziser, harmonischer, genial verspielter Wein, immer die Eleganz in den Vordergrund stellend, Bécot in Hochform, wohl auch recht jung schon herrlich zu trinken."

1er Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion |  85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet SauvignonFalstaff über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2020: "Im Duft fein und komplex zugleich: Schwarzkirsche und kreidige Kalknoten, auch Kokos. Thymian, Salbei, Darjeeling, Rote Johannisbeere, Wildkirsche, schwarzer Pfeffer. Im Mund ölig, mit leichter Süße in der Frucht, der Alkohol stört den seidigen, saftigen Eindruck nicht. Gut integrierte, feinnervige Säure, mutet in seiner feingliedrigen Art fast schon burgundisch an."The Wine Celler Insider über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2020: "Beau-Sejour Becot is on a hot streak and 2020 shows why. Opening with a wealth of flowers before you get to all the red, black and blue fruits, thyme, spice-box, espresso beans, cocoa and licorice in the bouquet. The palate is even better with its multiple-layers of crushed stones, sensuous fruits, velvet-tannins and long, expansive, lifted finish, with its hint of salt in the endnote. As I penned after tasting a barrel sample, this is a new level of quality at Beau-Sejour Becot that embraces less volume, but more intensity, and purity in the fruit. With their new cellars about to come into use, you are looking at a new level of Beau-Sejour Becot! Drink from 2025-2055."Robert Parker über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2020: "A terrific performance for an estate on a continuing upward trajectory, the 2020 Beau-Séjour Bécot unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of cherries and blackberries mingled with violets and spices. Medium to full-bodied, pure and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with a vibrant core of fruit, polished tannins and a long, sapid finish. The 2020 is a blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, some two-thirds of which was matured in new oak, with the balance in tanks, amphorae and foudres."James Suckling über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2020: "This has a fantastic finish with crushed blackberries and raspberries and salt undertones. It’s full-bodied, yet really racy and polished with such fine, intense tannins. Love the length to this. Very distinguished and toned. Excellent energy. 85% merlot, 13% cabernet franc and 2% cabernet sauvignon."Decanter über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2020:  "Velvety rich deep blue fruits, this is powerful and measured, fruit-forward and yet subtle, layered blueberry and raspberry with smoked almonds and mocha on the finish. Sleek and finessed fruit flavours, a sense of forward motion from beginning to end and a burst of freshly-grated minerality on the finish. Extremely good quality. This is the second to last vintage in the new cellar, before building a new cellar for 2023 vintage. They have done a lot of work in the vineyards studying the terroir to understand how smaller sectors and zones within each plot reacts, and this work of studying the plots will help to inform the new cellar. Harvest September 8th to September 29th. 3.5ph. A yield of 42hl/ha. 16 months ageing in 65% new oak barrel, 35% in vats, amphoras and 20hl oak tanks. Thomas Duclos consultant."

1er Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion | 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet SauvignonWeinwisser über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2021: ""Süßlich schokoladig und karamellig in der Nase, mit viel Kernaroma und differenzierter Tiefenstaffelung. Samtener Auftakt im Mund, sehr kompakt und schokoladig, mit druckvollen Gerbstoffen. Der Beauséjour 2021 trägt viel Saft und Rasse in sich, mit distinguiertem, rassigem Verlauf, bleibt jedoch etwas stumpf im Nachhall." 18/20 The Wine Celler Insider über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2021:  " "Licorice, cherries, flowers, cocoa, oceanic nuances, and and hint of cigar wrapper aromas crowd into the perfume. On the palate, the wine expresses purity, energy, grace and lift. The tannins are silky, the character is refined, relaxed, and most importantly, there is a gorgeous sense of purity in the red fruits that you sense in the mid-palate, all the way through to the elegant, long, energetic, sensual finish. The wine blends 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a major success for the vintage. Drink from 2025-2050." 96/100

1er Grand Cru Classé B Saint-Émilion | 76% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon The Wine Celler Insider über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2022:  "I loved this from the barrel, and I am even happier to report that it is even better, now that it is bottled! The perfume is ethereal, with its bouquet of flowers, red, black, and blue fruits, licorice, and spice. On the palate, this is where the wine truly shines. Rich, plush, incredibly dense, sensuous, opulent, and elegant, the wine feels weightless, making it effortless to drink. The purity in the fruit, paired with its cashmere tannins, seamless finish, and layers of fruit, topped by salty, crushed stones, hits the 60-second mark and keeps on going. The wine blends 76% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Make no mistake, this is the best wine ever produced at Beau-Sejour Becot, as well as the best deal in Bordeaux today for a 100 Pt. wine. Drink from 2028-2060."  100/100Jeb Dunnuck über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2022: "Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2022 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is flat-out sensational, as well as the finest wine I’ve tasted from this château. Powerful aromatics of red, blue, and black fruits as well as crushed stone and violets define the aromatics, and it’s full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, has integrated acidity, and ultra-fine tannins. Based on 76% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, this heavenly Saint-Emilion will benefit from just 3-5 years of bottle age and have 30 years or more of overall longevity. Back up the truck."  98/100Robert Parker über Beau-Séjour Bécot 2022: "The 2022 Beau-Séjour Bécot has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of sweet wild berries mingled with rose petals, orange zest, violets, gentian and espresso roast, it's full-bodied, supple and suave, with a deep core of cool, layered fruit, beautifully vibrant flavors and polished structuring tannins, concluding with a saline finish. As I wrote when I tasted it from barrel, this is a Saint-Émilion of breathtaking perfume and harmony that will be worth a special effort to seek out."  97/100
