Beau-Sejour Becot 2022 1500ml

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, the Bécot family's Premier Grand Cru Classé on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau, made what may be its greatest wine yet in 2022. Vinous awarded it a perfect 100 points and Jeb Dunnuck 98, calling it "the finest wine I've tasted from this château." A hot, dry season produced a powerful yet fresh blend of 76% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, with the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. Expect red, blue and black fruits, violets, rose petals and crushed stone, with full body, concentration and ultra-fine tannins. This magnum will age slowly and gracefully; hold for several years, and it should drink well for 30 years or more.
