Located immediately west of the magical town of Saint-Émilion on the Saint-Martin de Mazerat limestone plateau, Beau-Séjour Bécot is in the heart of the appellation. The estate has been devoted to winemaking since the Gallo-Roman period. In 1787, General Jacques de Carles, wishing to commemorate for all time the pleasure that he enjoyed staying there, named the estate “Beau-Séjour” (meaning “lovely stay”).
Michel Bécot bought Château Beau-Séjour in 1969 and today, the property covers 20 ha.
His two sons, Gérard and Dominique, have developed many technical innovations in the winery and in the vineyard to select the best grapes, picked and sorted grain by grain, by hand.
Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon
