Vinmarken ligger på det bedste terroir på skråningerne i Saint-Émilion, på toppen af plateauet. Ren kalksten med lidt ler. Sort, rig, tæt frugt, sorte kirsebær og brombær. Men forbliver meget fin, meget elegant. Mellemstor mund, god længde, dyb, krydret og sort. Men intet gør ondt, ikke for meget træ, ikke for ekstraheret. Alt passer. En fin, mellemtæt, saftig Saint-Émilion med en god krop og et kødfuldt centrum. Ikke en power-vin, men en ekstremt fin, poleret Saint-Émilion.

Bordeaux fik utroligt meget regn i foråret 2020. Under den tidlige, men perfekte blomstringsperiode var det tørt i fjorten dage, hvorefter det straks begyndte at regne. Fra midten af juni til midten af august faldt der imidlertid ikke en eneste dråbe regn. Det var en katastrofe for sandjord - vinstokkene led af tørkestress. Med lerjord, som vi har på de bedste steder i Médoc og Pomerol, eller på ren kalksten, som det ofte er tilfældet i Saint-Émilion, var det slet ikke noget problem. Der faldt omkring 80 millimeter regn på den venstre bred i midten af august. Yderligere 15 millimeter i slutningen af august. Derefter var det tørt i hele september. Så stort set perfekte betingelser for fremragende terroir, perfekte betingelser for høj modenhed og rige tanninniveauer med forholdsvis moderat syre.

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

Displaying a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Beau-Sejour Becot prances out of the glass with showy scents of preserved plums, chocolate-covered cherries, wild blueberries and raspberry preserves, plus suggestions of rose oil, ground cloves and licorice. The elegantly crafted, medium-bodied palate shimmers with energy, offering a fantastic intensity of crunchy red and black fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and perfumed. Simply stunning. 95-97+/100

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

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. 96-97/100

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

The 2020 Beau-Sejour Becot is a dense, powerful wine. A rush of black cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and sweet oak builds as this towering, vertically explosive Saint-Émilion opens in the glass. This is an especially broad, expansive Saint-Émilion, much of that attributable to the clay in these soils. The 2020 is magnificent in its intensity and overall volume. Superb. 97/100

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

With striking floral notes on the nose, you also find licorice, Asian spice, spearmint, cigar wrapper and an array of red and black plums. The wine is lifted, elegant, refined and focused on its purity and silky tannins. The energetic palate leaves you with layers of velvet-textured, sensuous, spicy fruits that lingers and expands for over 50 seconds in the finish. This is a new level of quality at Beau-Sejour Becot and also a change in style with less volume, but more intensity, purity and precision. The wine blends 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.3% ABV. 96-98
