Vinous - Neal Martin (90)
The 2016 Joanin Bécot has an agreeable blackberry and cedar bouquet with hints of blue fruit and Christmas cake. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannins, graphite-tinged black fruit and a slightly dry but weighty finish. It needs a couple of years to meld together, but I appreciate the balance of this Côtes de Castillon.In Bond£174.23 -

The 2017 Chateau Joanin Becot checks in as a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc from healthy yields of 35 hl/ha that spent 16 months in 50% new French ok. It has a juicy, forward, delicious style that offers lots of black cherry and mulberry fruit as well as plenty of earth, forest floor, and leafy herb aromas and flavors. This classic, elegant 2017 has terrific purity, bright acidity, a complex, layered style, and outstanding length. It's not a blockbuster but just classic all the way.In Bond£156.50 -
Wine Spectator (90-93)
A bright style, featuring damson plum and floral notes, flecked with herb accents and lined with a light sandalwood twinge. Very pure and pretty.In Bond£104.50 -

Juliette Bécot (also of Château Beau-Séjour Bécot in Saint-Émilion) has done great work in this vintage! The 2019 Joanin Bécot reveals an abundance of cassis, blueberry, flower and violet aromas overlaid with a nuance of graphite. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is perfectly balanced and framed by fine, controlled tannins and power. This wine made a significant impression on me.In Bond£191.00 -

90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 20 hl/ha (half the usual volume due to hail). No SO2 (at this stage). Cask sample. Pretty floral nose with violet notes. Hint of boiled sweets/hard candy as well. Lively and fruity, the tannins well honed. Touch of oak from the prise de bois but should settle. (JL) 14%In Bond£115.00 -

Wine Advocate (92)
Crafted by Juliette Bécot (from Beau-Séjour Bécot) and her team, the 2021 Joanin Bécot unveils its potential with a delightful, vibrant and dynamic profile, enriched with notes of cherries, dark wild berries, peonies and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, lively and gourmand, it’s seamless and supple with a vibrant, juicy core of fruit and an ethereal, saline finish. As usual, this overperforming estate from clay-limestone soils has produced a wine that punches above its weight, representing a significant and commendable achievement for a modest Castillon appellation.In Bond£88.50 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92)
In bottle. A fraction paler and tighter on the nose, after bottling. A pretty trace of wood, a little touch of the exotic, the thicker texture of all Valentin's wines this year, generous yellow fruit, low but adequate acidity, no heat though and maybe a saline note to finish.In Bond£682.00
