    Producer

    The Château Beau-Séjour Bécot vineyard covers approximately forty hectares, planted primarily on clay-limestone soils. This unique terroir offers ideal conditions for grape ripening, promoting maximum aromatic expression. The region's temperate climate, with warm summers and mild winters, also contributes to the quality of the wines. Careful vineyard management, combined with respectful viticulture, ensures healthy, ripe grapes, essential for producing great wines.

    Owner and history

    Currently managed by the Bécot family, Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is the fruit of a family passion for winemaking. The owners are committed to preserving the estate's heritage while integrating modern practices. Their approach is centered on respect for the terroir and authenticity, allowing them to produce wines that tell a story.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is a meticulous process, blending tradition and innovation. The carefully selected grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled vats to preserve their freshness and aromas. After a gentle maceration, the wine is aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, to add complexity and roundness. This aging period, lasting 12 to 18 months, allows the wine to develop a beautiful harmony between power and elegance. Each step is carried out with care, reflecting the estate's commitment to excellence.
