Wine Advocate
Review Date: 04/2023The 2020 Joanin Bécot offers up notes of cherries, dark berries, violet and flower aromas with delicate hints of peony flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, precise and fresh, with bright acidity and a delicate, crystalline and fine texture; in a word: exquisite. (YC)

I always love this cuvée, and the 2020 Château Joanin Bécot shows the class of the vintage with its limestone-driven aromatics of black raspberries, framboise, rose petals, iris, and exotic flower-driven aromatics. With medium-bodied richness on the palate, it has silky tannins, a pure, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is just pure, classic Right Bank goodness to enjoy over the coming decade or so.

Crafted by the team at Beau-Séjour Bécot, who are making some of the finest wines in the region these days, 2020 Joanin Bécot brings that style and refinement to this brilliant Cotes de Castillon. Floral and raspberry aromas lead to flavors of deep blackberry on a soft and textured palate that is defined by a great elegance and a mineral and saline finish. Easy to love and remarkably affordable, it is one that'll drink well young, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it age beautifully as well.
