The wine was aged in a mix of vessels: 55% new French oak, 15% once-used, and the remainder in large foudres and amphorae. This combination provides a subtle wood impact and allows the terroir to speak to the fullest. Tasting note Beau-Séjour Bécot 2024 In the glass, Beau-Séjour Bécot 2024 displays a deep purple color.
