95 Points Jeb Dunnuck - Reviewed 8/11/22

Showing beautifully, the 2000 Château Beau-Sejour Bécot is fully in its prime drink window and offers brilliant aromatics of red and black fruits, cedar pencil, tobacco leaf, truffle, and licorice. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a deep, concentrated mid-palate, resolved tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. This is prime, Grade-A Saint-Emilion magic that's drinking at point yet has another 10-15 years of life. - JD


Just over half a mile away from world-renowned Premier Grand Cru Château Ausone!

The first records of this legendary estate date back more than two thousand years, and now for more than 40 years, iconic winemaker Michel Rolland has been the consultant here and was the winemaker during the 2000’s amazing vintage!

Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot’s 54-acre vineyard is planted almost entirely to Merlot & cab Franc. With vines up to 75 years old, located on the limestone plateau of Saint Emilion. This beautiful terroir composed of clay that has deep, limestone soils, is the canvas to produce this outstanding Saint-Emilion.

Just like Jeb Dunnuck said, today and after 22 years, this wine is "fully in its prime drink window." 2000 was an amazing vintage that delivered wines with enormous age-ability. Wine Advocate blessed this year with 96 points and Vinous Media said that the best Saint-Emilion's are "opulent and harmonious."

Aging: 18 months in 55% new French oak barrels.
