The 2017 Joanin Bécot is a very pretty Côtes de Castillon. Juicy red cherry, dark raspberry and sweet oak notes abound in this pliant, super-inviting wine. There is just a touch of dryness on the finish. The 2017 wants to please, but the fruit doesn’t carry all the way through to the finish, which creates an impression of dryness.

The 2017 Joanin Bécot has a slightly smudged bouquet at first, a mixture of red and black fruit, much lighter than recent vintages and needing a little more energy to come through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, nicely judged acidity with a simple, peppery, tertiary finish. Drink for three or four years after bottling.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Joanin Becot has a very peppery nose over a core of black plums and cassis with a waft of dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and just a tad lean and chewy with appealing freshness and an uncomplicated finish. The current blend is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.

Brought in exclusively by American merchant Jeffrey Davies, the 2017 Château Joanin Bécot is, as almost always, a hidden gem of a wine. Black fruits, tobacco, a touch of minerality, and plenty of herbal notes give way to a medium-bodied, ripe, silky 2017 that has the sweet tannin and upfront style that defines the vintage. The 2017 is a rough blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, all aging in 50% new French oak. It’s also worth noting that the talented Thomas Duclos lends his consulting advice here.

A savory streak pulls soft-edged raspberry and plum fruit along, with a light anise note chiming in on the finish. Score: 87 - 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 04 April 2018 |

A highly recommendable wine but it’s suffering from a tough vintage. Owner Juliette Bécot has clearly carried out extremely careful extraction and the tannins are firm but not bitter. There’s a fruit spectrum sliding through redcurrant, raspberry, with some gooseberry touches. Yet there’s an austere feel to the fruit and it trails a through the palate. Harvest took place September 14 to September 29. Score: 86 Jane Anson, Decanter.com Maturity: 2019-2028 Date: 01 April 2018 |
