Smooth and velvety with sultry aromas of dark chocolate and baked plums. Chateau Joanin Bécot shows intense aromas of spicy plum and mocha. Plump, juicy and fresh on the palate with lingering proportions of fruit, earth, and oak notes. Elegant in style with dried herbs and balance in the long finish. 80% Merlot & 20% Cabernet Franc

Critic Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck
92-94 Points
92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: "I loved the 2022 Château Joanin Bécot, which might be the finest vintage I've tasted from this château. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, harvested between the 15th and 26th of September and aged in 50% new barrels, it has a vivid purple hue as well as awesome aromatics of black raspberries, chalky minerality, and flowers. As with many of these top Castillon releases, it tastes like a top Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé and is medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and terrific balance." 5/23

91-93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2022 Joanin-Bécot is one of the best vintages I can remember tasting. Heady and explosive in the glass, the 2022 offers up copious red/purplish berry fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol and licorice all saturate the finish. This could be a Sleeper." 4/23

91-93 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate: "A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from Juliette Bécot, the 2022 Joanin Bécot offers up aromas of dark berries, bay leaf, vine smoke and lilac. Medium to full-bodied, supple and incisive, it's a rich but vibrant wine that exhibits the potential of the Côtes de Castillon in vintages like this." 4/23
