Chateau Beausejour Becot St Emilion Grand Cru

Country: France

Grape Varietal: Bordeaux Blend Red

Tasting Note: The 2017 Beau-Séjour-Bécot has an elegant bouquet, much more tertiary than the 2016 with sous-bois-infused black fruit mixed with tobacco and light truffle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins matched with a fine bead of acidity. There is a lovely creamy texture to this Saint-Émilion, with plenty of detailed red fruit towards the finish demonstrating fine substance. 

Food Pairing: Beef, Lamb, Game (deer, venison), Poultry

Alcohol Content: 13.5%
