More about this product
Château Beau-Séjour Bécot
Beau-Sejour Becot is an emblematic representative of St. Emilion. In 1985 it was deprived of the status of 1er Grand Cru Classé due to the inclusion of several arrays outside the appeal. In the 96th the decision was changed and, at present, the chateau is one of the leading manufacturers among the winners of the 1er Grand Cru Classé (B). The vineyards are 20 hectares, planted with 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermentation is carried out in steel vessels with temperature control, and the wine matures in 50-70% new oak barrels for 18 - 20 months. The ubiquitous Michel Rolland is a consultant at Beau-Séjour Bécot and it is no surprise that the wines are thick and saturated, rich in layers, with blackcurrant aromas and hints of smoky new oak.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France. It stretches 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast. In 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that remains largely constant over the previous decade. The main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and they are used to make different wines, each producer having its own blend and proportions of mixing the varieties. Here are produced some of the most famous, most expensive and long-lasting wines in the world - the well-known subregions Medoc, Graves, St. Emilion, Pomerol and many others. Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River on the left and right banks. Characteristic of the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is the more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of wine, while on the right bank (St. Emillion, Pomerol) merlot predominates. In addition to red wines, Bordeaux is famous for the production of white, mainly a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with the Sauternes subregion and the leading Chateau d’Yquem, famous for its complex and multi-layered, aromatic and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
