Chateau Beau Sejour

Château Beau-Séjour Bécot is one of the most important wine estates in Bordeaux’s Saint-Émilion appellation, with a history dating back to the mid-20th century. Since then, the estate has belonged to the Bécot family, who have consistently nurtured its reputation and upheld strong traditional winemaking principles.

The estate manages approximately 22.5 hectares of vineyards, planted with the classic Saint-Émilion varieties: ‘Merlot’, ‘Cabernet Franc’, and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’. The structure and age of the vineyards are key factors in the character of the estate: the average vine age is 37 years, while some parcels still contain ‘Merlot’ vines over 70 years old. These old-vine plantings contribute depth, complexity, and an additional aromatic dimension to the wines.

The winery is advised by renowned international wine consultant Michel Rolland, whose involvement helps Château Beau-Séjour Bécot combine the traditions of classic Bordeaux style with modern quality standards and expression. As a result, the estate’s wines beautifully convey the now classic Saint-Émilion style – expressive and complex wines with a refined texture and clearly defined minerality.
