Tasting notes
The 2014 Beau-Sejour Becot is medium to deep garnet-brick in color. There a slight oxidized note on the nose, leading to otherwise appealing hints of dried plums and figs followed by hints of Indian spices and unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and a tad rugged with a firm finish.

Tasted blind. Youthful colour but quite evolved in aroma. Sweet dried red fruits. A little bit lean in the middle but just about in balance and finishes fresh.
The 2014 Beau-Sejour Becot was tasted on two or three occasions. It has a generous and sensual bouquet with ample macerated red cherries, wild strawberry, vanilla pod and orange sorbet aromas. This is endowed with superb delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, beautifully integrated new oak, real depth and focus. You could argue that it needed to demonstrate more persistence on the finish but that would be clutching at straws. There is so much freshness and vivacity in this Saint Emilion that it really is a must-buy.
This delivers a vibrant core of raspberry and boysenberry preserves, freshened with hints of mint, savory and tobacco, all carried by fine threads of charcoal through the finish. Reveals a lovely tug of sweet earth at the end. Best from 2022 through 2032. 4,500 cases made.
