justerini & brooks tasting note

The aromatic profile immediately presents a vibrant array of red fruit notes, exhibiting redcurrant, cherry, and sour plum. A subtle undercurrent of blackcurrant is discernible, interwoven with nuances of blood orange and a distinct saline minerality. This wine possesses a notable depth, yet it conveys a sense of refined ease. Herbal undertones of rosemary, thyme, and a suggestion of sage contribute further layers, culminating in notes of coffee, cacao nib, and crushed leaves. The tannins are finely textured and seamlessly integrated. This is an excellent effort from Julien Barthe and his team.

93-95/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Waltzes out with showy scents of black cherries, raspberry coulis, and red currant jelly, leading to hints of lavender oil, black olives, and fragrant earth. The light to medium-bodied palate is subtle and racy with silky tannins and a savory lift on the finish.

92/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Ruby red colour, vivid reflections, chewy character not just to the tannins but to the fruit, this is on the cool and slim side of the vintage, rose buds, peonies, but with real finesse and character, and excellent texture that keeps focus and interest through the palate, 90-100m on the plâteau, with underground limestone cellars down to 11m. Thomas Duclos consultant. Harvest 25 September to 4 October, latest harvest for Merlot in past 40 years, finishing up this grape on October 3. 3.4 pH 32 hl/ha. Cabernet Franc has been slowly increasing in the vineyard and in the blend of the 1st wine.

93-95/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Beau-Sejour Becot was picked in late September. Clusters were open rather than compact, lessening botrytis pressure, making it easier to wait to attain full maturity. Offering up aromas of dark berries, violets, rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, polished and layered, with beautifully refined tannin, integrated acidity and a long, aromatic finish. Once again, this impeccably managed estate has delivered a terrific performance in challenging conditions.
