Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Estate named Beau-Séjour in 1787 by General Jacques de Carle, proprietor at the time. Michel Bécot bought estate from Dr Jean Fagouet in 1969 increasing vines from 10.5 hectares to 15, acquiring Trois Moulins plateau in 1979, kept the name Beau-Séjour Bécot. Blend of 87% Merlot, 9% Cab Sauv & 4% Cab Franc. Nice berry aromas, ripe cherry & fresh raspberry flavors with notes of sweet cacao & tobacco adding some toasty notes. Firm tannins, not overpowering, lingering ending with tangy sweet oak.Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

Nose is plum lightly sweeten. Taste right out of the bottle was oak and dirt. Opened up with fruit (blackberries and strawberries) forward and closes by coating tongue with a tart dry finish.

REALLY dark fruit. Lush and spicy. Silky smooth. And ready for bizness. Pretty sure that ‘17 Morgons or Moulins will be a longer time forthcoming. — 6 years ago

Im not sure why Delectable "corrected" ( after my request) this to a Trepat/pinot Noir blend-seems to be 100% trepat. And what a 'trepat' it was! Typically a Cava blending grape. Small boned, but w vital red & black fruits, fresh cut flowers nose-as if a Ribera Sacra met a potent, gang of four cru beaujo (Moulins A Vent? Minus the cherries). If I read properly gets amphorae & barrel. Layered and alluring. Has the delish factor--& less than 20$. Absolutely worth revisiting. — 8 years ago
