Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot Wine Dinner 10/14/2026

An Evening with Julien Bécot

A Vertical Tasting of Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, St-Émilion Grand Cru

with a fanatic meal at Claudio's Table

October 14th. 7:00 PM

Join us for a rare evening with Julien Bécot himself, who will host and pour a vertical tasting of his family's estate, Premier Grand Cru Classé B of St-Émilion. Every bottle on this list was shipped directly from the château, several in magnum, for a dinner that spans nearly four decades of the estate's history in one sitting.

Beau-Séjour Bécot has been getting serious press lately. The estate just opened a new, highly precise winery, and the resulting 2023 vintage has critics reaching for superlatives, Wine Advocate and Vinous both scored it up to 98 points, with The Wine Cellar Insider calling it simply the best wine ever produced at the property. The secret, as it's always been here, is the dirt: Beau-Séjour Bécot sits on the pure limestone plateau of St-Émilion, the same geology behind the appellation's most legendary names, riddled with old limestone quarries that still regulate water beneath the vines today. It's what gives these wines their signature finesse, freshness, and mineral drive, and it's exactly what you'll taste across four decades of vintages in this lineup.

The evening takes place at Claudio's Table, Chef Claudio Pirollo's Italian trattoria just down the road from us in the Palisades, a warm, family-run room built on honest cooking, from-scratch recipes, and deep respect for ingredients, the perfect setting for an intimate night with a winemaker pouring his own history.
