Expert tasting note: (2024 vintage)
"A deep & dark wine with intense black-purple color. High-ripeness black-cherry aromas on the nose have prune notes & chocolatey/cocoa-butter character. The palate initially combines good freshness with a gripping structure, but suppler fruit emerges from behind this. The mid-palate has juicy raspberry & ripe red-cherry fruit. Balanced alcohol lends some weight to the medium-bodied palate. The finish has fine cedary grip with notes of vanilla & mocha." - 04/25 ep DCAMW

"The 2024 Beau-Séjour Bécot is deep, vivid and wonderfully alive. Dynamic and explosive, with striking inner perfume, Beau-Séjour 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."
