In navolging van de schitterende 2018, zijn Juliette Bécot en haar technisch directeur Jean de Cournaud een nieuwe weg ingeslagen met de hulp van consulent en "tovenaar" Thomas Duclos. Weinigen proefden hem al, maar neem het van mij aan: dit is de tweede, opeenvolgende coup de maître na de schitterende 2018. Beau Séjour Bécot realiseert vandaag het potentieel van zijn terroir als nooit tevoren en is een vooraanstaande plaats in uw kelder waard. Pure elegantie. IN DE PERS 96 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Februari 2022) The 2019 Beau-Séjour-Bécot is a powerful, explosive wine. Dark fruit, chocolate, cured meats and earthy notes lend quite a bit of depth. Compared with its neighbors, Beau-Séjour-Bécot is dark, broad and broodingly tannic, sometimes more power than finesse. There is plenty of character, though. That much is evident. Beau-Séjour-Bécot speaks with authority as it commands attention. Drink 2031-2049. 94+ William Kelley - robertparker.com (April 2022) The 2019 Beau-Séjour Bécot has turned out nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, wild berries, raw cocoa, spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's deep and layered, with a rich mid-palate that's underpinned by succulent acids and powdery tannins. Located opposite Château Canon on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau, there's some significant restructuring going on in the vineyards here, and in the cellar, foudres, amphorae and once-used barrels complement new oak: the result is the best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. Drink 2025-2050. 96 Jane Anson – decanter.com (Juni 2020) Rich plum colour. This takes its time to open, is pretty subtle at first, but then explodes in juicy fruit. Clear salinity where you can feel the slate scrape of the limestone terroir, alongside well expressed aromatics with touches of peony flowers. Elegant and succulent. Second vintage with Jean de Cournuaud as technical director. A yield of 46hl/ha. 65% new oak, with a mix of barrels and 20hl casks. 3.77pH. Harvest 18-21 September, with all the Merlots in 3.5 days instead of the usual 11 days (and in fact stretched over one month in 2018), with just 20 minutes from picking to vat. Thomas Duclos consultant. Drink 2028-2044. 96 James Suckling - jamessuckling.com (Januari 2022) Plums, currants, pine cones, mushrooms and bark on the nose. Some licorice, too. It’s medium-bodied with tightly knit tannins. Tight and fresh with fantastic tension and drive. Refined and focused. Spicy and lightly salty at the end. Try in 2026. 17,5/20 Jancis Robinson - jancisrobinson.com (Februari 2023) Tasted blind. Simple colour. Easy, relaxed, rich and round. Already fun to drink with good balance even without much evolution or nuance. Polished tannins. Sophisticated winemaking. Long. The opposite of showy. 14.5%. Drink 2025–2040.
