Château Joanin Becot

Château Joanin Bécot is in the Côtes de Castillon, on the northeast edge of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. The appellation is notable for its small, family-owned estates making Merlot-based blends that attract attention for style and value. Joanin Bécot is owned by Juliette Bécot and her adult children, and together they operate the 27-acre estate. Bécot comes from a vigneron tradition. She is a member of the Bécot family that acquired Château Beau-Sejour Bécot in 1969. Château Joanin Bécot, the flagship wine, is typically 80 percent Merlot and 20 percent Cabernet Franc. Wine Advocate has often rated the wines in the low 90s, and Robert M. Parker Jr. has noted that “this is an excellent as well as fashionable estate…where a lot of over-achievers perform at impressive levels. These are rich, concentrated wines that are modern in style but loaded with flavor.”
