Purchased by its family in 1969, Beau-Séjour Bécot experienced a revival when Juliette Bécot, 3rd generation, and her husband Julien Barthe took over the reins of the estate in 2017.

Ideally located on the western plateau of Saint-Emilion, the vineyard covers 17 hectares. Premier Grand Cru Classé B since 1996, the estate also stands out for its 7 hectares of underground limestone quarries which offer optimal conditions for storing a fine collection of old vintages.

En Primeur Offer - Secure Bordeaux’s most sought-after wines before they’re bottled. This exclusive pre-release offers early access to top estates at often favourable pricing. Wines are expected to land in New Zealand by late 2027.

Critic Scores

97 // Vinous

"The 2024 Beau-Séjour Bécot is deep, vivid and wonderfully alive. Dynamic and explosive, with striking inner perfume, Beau-Séjour Bécot is hauntingly beautiful. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, menthol, licorice and rose petal soar out of the glass. Silky, refined tannins add to the wine's finesse. The increase of Cabernet Franc in the blend has added aromatic depth and textural elegance. There's a feeling of transparency here that is impossible to miss. Beau-Séjour Bécot has grown into one of the most distinctive wines in Bordeaux. Simply put, the 2024 is magnificent. That's all there is to it. Élevage is 55% in new oak, 15% in once-used barrels and the rest in 20HL casks. Tasted two times. - Antonio Galloni"

97 // Markus Del Monego

"This Château continues its promising evolution. Intense purple colour with violet hue. Initially slightly closed, the nose opens up slowly. Fine blackberries, blackcurrants, elderberries and blackcurrant spurs, hints of aromatic herbs in the background. Subtle oak and chocolate coated prunes. On the palate silky elegant body with sweet fruit, ripe tannins, fine aromatic herbs and hints of liquorice, mild spices in the finish. A wine with fine natural concentration and pure fruit presenting a unique style in this vintage. - Markus Del Monego"

97 // Yves Beck

"A wine that hints at richness and demonstrates finesse has more than one trick up its sleeve! The vegetal, floral, and fruity nuances create a symbiosis that sings a hymn to freshness. They are complemented by notes of licorice wood and mint. On the palate, the wine is full of energy. The saline attack paves the way for a fresh, precise, inviting, and mouth-watering wine. It has pep and finesse, and is carried by juicy tannins in sync with an incisive structure. So much tone and energy in this wine! An artist who walks serenely on a tightrope, doing triple jumps. - Yves Beck"
