Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, Premier Grand Cru Classé

Fantastic tour of the vineyard and tasting. Very knowledgable guide who answered all questions and didn’t rush anything, so e we’re closer to 1.5hrs! Beautiful vineyard and fantastic wines. Recommended

I will start off by acknowledging that we were 15 mins late for our tasting (due to a late driver pick-up and being dropped off at the wrong location). That said, our tasting guide was extremely rude, despite our apologies and the amount charged for the tasting. Wines were OK, but our guide suggested our palettes were not refined enough to appreciate the overpriced merlot. Not worth the visit sadly.

The place is a quick 10 min walk from the city centre, a lovely walk through vineyards, picturesque landscape, and when arriving you see from the distance the mediaeval town, what is left from the ancient walls and gate, and the bell tower of Saint Emilion Church, scenic and gorgeous!Googlemaps brought us to a place, nothing like the photo, but from there we could spot it, some 400m away across another patch of vineyard, the Majestic manor house just like the one on the photo.We initially thought we’d have to walk through the vineyards, but then as we went past this under construction warehouse, we saw the path winding directly into our destination.As no clear signs, we saw an open door, and asked, and were guided up the staircase.We were a little early, but were welcomed politely by our host, who requested to wait until all guests arrived - which they did within a couple minutes, and the tour started.Don’t want to tell spoilers, as the fun of it all is to allow yourself to be taken all around, and hear historical facts, the magical transformation, a mixture of craftsmanship, chemistry, art, and love, and be surprised by every fact, every detail, every curiosity. It was both educational and absolutely interesting! Perfect for amateaur wine lovers like us! Nice to understand what it means for a wine to be qualified, categorised, as Premier Grandu Cru Classe… Exquisite, more than special, unique…From the tour through the vineyards, we are taken inside for the wine tasting. We were given 4 wines, and pairing nibbles.Always find amazing how food can change/improve the taste of wine, and discover those matching pairs at these tasking sessions!Really recommend, checking out this Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, Premier Grand Cru Classé wine tasting experience, if you’re into a top notch differentiated top of the tops experience! ^_^ well worth it!

We really enjoyed the visit to Beausejour. We had a very knowledgeable sommelier, who drove us through the vineyards, providing very interesting information on the management of the vines and the history of the chateau and later took us fir a very good wine tasting with a great selection of wines, that allowed us to sample some of the styles of the wines of St Emillion and surrounding areas.

Belle visite originale dans les vignes, belle dégustation, bien accompagnée. Vaut le détour.

Great visit! Very recommended and worth it

One of the most prestigious producers in St Emilion and the wine is just amazing. Had an interesting wine and chocolate pairing with four wines that I really enjoyed. The tasting is guided by the in house sommelier and the tasting room has a stunning view over looking the vineyards. Love the experience, highly recommend.

Une très belle balade en plein milieu des vignes, où le guide nous a bien expliqué le vin de la vigne jusque dans la bouteille. Nous ne sommes pas des experts et pourtant nous avons tout compris. La dégustation s'est poursuivie de la même manière : de bonnes explications claires et concises et des réponses à toutes nos questions. Nous avons beaucoup aimé les vins. Encore merci pour cette balade très instructive !

Belle visite dans ce beau vignoble. Très agréable d'en connaître un peu plus sur le travail, la passion et le suivit de ce merveilleux domaine.

C'était notre première visite d'un domaine viticole à Bordeaux, et nous avons eu la chance d’avoir une visite dans les vignes avec des explications précises, avec beaucoup d'échanges. Nous avons donc pu poser toutes nos questions. Le domaine est beau, à la hauteur de ce que l'on attendait lorsque l'on voit les photos sur le site. Les vins sont bons.
