Clearly the 1994 vintage of this wine not only made a big impression on Robert Parker,but also on the Bordeaux panel that decides on St.Emilion classifications.
Shortly after this vintage in 1996,Chateau Beausejour-Becot was elevated to the Premier Grand Cru classification,becoming a member of this high status St.Emilion group,enjoyed by only 17 other chateaux in that appellation.
Robert Parker's tasting notes on this wine shortly after release were as follows:-
"This is undoubtedly the finest wine I have tasted from the Becot family.An opaque black/purple color suggests considerable concentration and intensity.The huge nose of sweet,toasty,smoky new oak and copious quantities of black and red fruits,intertwined with Asian spices is followed with a sweet,outstanding wine of huge concentration,full-body,and moderately high tannin.This powerful,authoritative flavored,intense wine requires 5-6 more years of cellaring.It should last for 15+ years. Impressive".
(90-92 Points).

A more recent CellarTracker tasting note:-
"Some thin sediment.Maybe it wasn't fined.Other than that,classic Right Bank Bordeaux.Dark fruits,leather,tobacco,post pressed espresso beans.Medium-body,medium acid,supple with some dust on the palate towards the end.Not a lot of complexity and not utterly balanced,but well made on a not so great vintage".
