Vinmarken ligger på det bedste terroir på skråningerne i Saint Emilion, på toppen af plateauet. Ren kalksten med lidt ler. I nogle år nu i skyggen af de ekstremt genopståede Beausejour Duffau og Canon. Næsen er virkelig elegant. Stor Merlot-frugt med denne tætte, sorte kirsebær, lidt brombær. Men meget subtil, meget velafbalanceret og sublim. Jeg kan ekstremt godt lide næsen i dens finesse, i dens aldrig søde tæthed. Smagen kommer med en utrolig intensitet. Igen sorte kirsebær, men også surkirsebær. En ekstrem mængde let lakrids og masser af salt. Utrolig lang, tæt og slutter først efter få minutter. Øjnene og munden trækker sig sammen. Tanninen er fuldstændig poleret. Vinen viser en forrygende intensitet og alligevel en uhyggelig finesse. Dybest set er jeg ikke en stor fan af Becot, men 2016 er en stor biograf for denne vingård. Dette er en af de smukkeste Becot'er, jeg nogensinde har smagt, med en så raffineret finesse og en høj, kirsebærlignende tæthed. Den er så intens. En blockbuster i finesse og raffinement. Noget af det bedste. Ikke en af de 5 bedste Saint Emilions, men bestemt ikke langt fra.

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Minty aromas signal the effect new wood is already having on this wine. The fruit is opulent and ripe, with generous blackberry and plum flavors filling the glass. It will take many years to develop, so drink after 2029. 95–97/100

Parker om: Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Beau-Sejour Becot (80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) is just a little closed to begin, opening out to reveal beautiful chocolate-covered cherries, preserved plums and black raspberries scents with touches of stewed tea, tobacco, red roses and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied and jam-packed with perfumed fruit layers, it has a rock-solid frame of ripe, finely grained tannins and layer upon layer of provocative black fruit and savory layers on the finish. 95/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2016 Beauséjour Bécot has a sensual bouquet of pure red cherries and crushed strawberry laced with cedar and light graphite scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity. The finish is harmonious and somehow just effortless. This actually reminds me of its neighbor, Château Canon. Could the 2016 represent the best Beauséjour Bécot ever made? Quite possibly. 95/100

Suckling om: Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Extremely aromatic and lifted on the nose with wild fruit and flowers, as well as chalk and mushroom undertones. Full body and ultra-fine tannins with beautiful grace and balance. Shows structure yet refinement at the same time. Needs four to five years to come completely together, but already so beautiful. Drink after 2023. 95/100

International Wine Report om: Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2016 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a brilliant release from this estate located on the Saint-Martin de Mazerat limestone plateau in Saint-Êmilion. This blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon start off with inviting aromas of blackberries and dark cherries along with tar, dried tobacco, graphite and a touch of sweet spices all coming together marvelously in the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied with beautifully polished tannins that provide excellent structure. It shows plenty of character from start to finish. This is a stunning young wine from the Bécot family which has the potential to evolve and become even more compelling with time. 95/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Beau Sejour Becot 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Showing spectacularly well on the two occasions I was able to taste it, the 2016 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 16 months in 90% new oak, and hitting a healthy 14.5% natural alcohol. This straight-up classy, seamless, ultra-fine Saint Emilion offers a beautiful bouquet of red currants, white truffles, spice, and flowers. With brilliant limestone character, fabulous intensity on both the nose and palate, ultra-fine tannins, and a magical texture, it’s approachable today yet has another 20+ years of prime drinking. 95/100
