VertdeVin

The nose is fresh, concentrated/powerful and offers a fine freshness as well as a fine fleshiness. It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry and fleshy raspberry associated with fine notes of cornflower, cassis, Sichuan pepper as well as fine touches of small fleshy red fruits and toasted. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy, elegant and offers fat, beautiful precision, straightness, finesse, a beautiful freshness, gourmandize, a good finesse of the grain, a good delicacy as well as a nice harmony. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy raspberry and more slightly fleshy little red fruits associated with fine touches of caramelization, almond, toasted as well as discreet hint of tonka bean and vanilla on the finish/persistence. Tannins are fine, slightly firm and elegant. There is a hint of fresh crushed nut on the aftertaste.

Wine Enthusiast

Freshness blends with a solid tannic structure in this ripe wine. It gives the wine a lift and succulent berry flavors and acidity. That combines with the dry core to promise great aging for a wine that should be ready to drink from 2024.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Beau-Sejour Becot sails out of the glass with pronounced black cherries, kirsch, baked plums and boysenberries scents plus nuances of bay leaves, star anise and pencil shavings with a waft of roses. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers bags of juicy black fruits with a firm backbone of rounded tannins and bold freshness, finishing with great length and purity.
