Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot Saint-Emilion Grand Cru (Minimum order: 6 bottle case) FUTURES 2025 Pre-Arrival
Critic tasting notes: (2025 vintage)
"Beau-Sejour Becot has been on fire lately, and the 2025 shows why. Concentrated, lusciously textured, creamy, and fresh, the wine delivers an intensity of fruit and a surreal sense of purity that hits all your pleasure buttons. The finish is all about its nonstop, seamless layers of velvety fruit that coat your palate as they linger for over 60 seconds. The wine is aged in 50% new French oak barrels, along with foudres and amphora. The wine blends 78% Merlot with 22% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV, 3.5 pH. The harvest took place September 25 - October 4. Drink from 2030-2060." - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (99/100)
"A medium-bodied red with a very salty and bright character and a lovely, silky texture. It’s round, polished and intense. Superb finish of mineral and iron undertones. Racy and refined. A unique wine with a texture like a great Burgundy. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc." - James Suckling (97-98/100)
"Deep, dark ruby-garnet, opaque centre, violet highlights, a delicate lightening at the rim. Leather and black cherry, woodruff, robust new oak. The palate reveals very fine tannins, carefully extracted even in terms of quantity; the supple body complements the robust limestone minerality and the tannin structure, which releases its tension relatively quickly as the wine develops on the palate. Well-integrated acidity. (U.S.)" - Falstaff (95/100)
