Château Beau-Séjour Bécot 2014, Saint-Emilion 1° Grand Cru Classé - Parker 93
(€102.00 L)
Fine notes of coffee add charm to this elegant wine with fine tannins, medium body, freshness and a lovely fruity mid-palate. Aeration adds complexity.
Winemaker and Vineyard: Property spanning 16.6 ha, ensuring a production of around 56,000 bottles per year, the soil here is particularly conducive to the production of very high-quality wine. Characterized by a significant concentration of asteriated limestone-clay, the soil is also carved with galleries where the wines are stored. The grape variety consists of 70% merlot, 24% cabernet franc, and 6% cabernet sauvignon, with vines averaging 40 years old.
Tasting: "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." robertparker.com (31.03.2017)
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a herb-crusted lamb fillet.
