Chateau Joanin Becot Castillon Cote de Bordeaux 2021

92 Points Decanter
Bramble fruit aromas and lovely subtle perfume to the red summer berries. Smooth and supple palate but the wine has such a vibrancy to it. It has a bit of a wild energy with salty earth, sour cherry, ripe strawberry and a touch of crushed stone and tobacco. You get the minerality and a real display of nuance and detail on the palate. This has character: it’s smooth but with satin-textured tannins giving the support and structure in the mouth with a slow build of flavour to a lifted, fresh finish. An excellent and impressive effort from Côtes de Castillon in 2021. No chapitalisation. 7% press wine. 3.5pH.

92 Points Wine Advocate
This 14-hectare vineyard in the Côtes de Castillon has delivered a fine performance with the 2021 Joanin Bécot. Offering up aromas of cherries, dark berries and subtle hints of pipe tobacco, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, with a generous core of fruit framed by fine tannins and a bright spine of acidity. It's a characterful, beautifully made wine that punches above its weight.

91 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Château Joanin Bécot is terrific, with an incredible sense of minerality as well as pure red and black fruits, medium-bodied richness, good acidity, and polished yet present tannins. It plays in the fresher, elegant style of the vintage yet has good concentration and length. I'd happily buy (and drink) a bottle.

91 Points James Suckling
A juicy red with plum, coffee and light tobacco character. Medium-bodied with medium, round tannins and a savory finish.
