Château Beau-Sejour Becot Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe 2021

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot Premier Grand Cru Classé 2021 - Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France

A refined and expressive Right Bank Bordeaux from this esteemed Premier Grand Cru Classé estate, the 2021 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot balances vibrant fruit with layered complexity and polished structure. Aromas of dark plum, blackberry, violet and spice give way to a medium-to-full-bodied palate where plush Merlot-driven fruit is framed by fine tannins, bright acidity and a subtle mineral edge. Silky and layered yet energetic, this Saint-Émilion shows both immediate appeal and significant age-worthiness - a wine that beautifully reflects both terroir and meticulous craft.
