Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 2014 (Ex-Negociant)
A mature Right Bank classic from the Bécot family's Premier Grand Cru Classé B estate on the Saint-Émilion plateau, this 2014 has reached an eloquent middle age. The 2014 vintage was a saving-grace year on the Right Bank, late-ripening and structured, and Beau-Séjour Bécot's limestone-rich plateau site delivered one of its finest efforts: macerated red cherry and wild strawberry framed by tobacco, savory herb, and the cool mineral signature of the bedrock below. The Merlot-dominant blend (87% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc) shows filigree tannin and beautifully integrated oak. Bottled by the négociant rather than at the château, this is a chance to drink a serious classified Saint-Émilion in its drinking window. Open now through the early 2030s.
