【Ch. Beausejour-Becot owner's proud work】
Ch. Beausejour-Becot is a first-growth Saint-Ménière grand cru. After searching for several production areas in 2001, the owner finally bought a new winery to further develop his concept. The manor is located in Libournais, a high-altitude area of the Gironde River, and is managed by the eldest daughter Juliette. When she first bought the vineyard, the area was only 5.4 hectares, and now it has expanded to 12 hectares~Juliette Inheriting the family's excellent winemaking culture, the manor adopts green harvesting and hand-picks the whole process. The output is very low, with an annual output of only 3,700 cases, and an average of only 30 hectoliters of wine per hectare of vineyards. Because of this persistence, Juliette made a name for herself in Cotes de Castillion. In fact, the winery won numerous awards after she took over, and Robert Parker also gave it a very high evaluation! !

Sleek, with damson plum and cassis notes that glide through, inlaid with a floral edge and backed by light savory and iron hints on the focused finish. Shows lovely purity and freshness. Drink now through 2022. 4,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported. — JM
