Wine Advocate, April 2023, Score: 91-93
A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from Juliette Bécot, the 2022 Joanin Bécot offers up aromas of dark berries, bay leaf, vine smoke and lilac. Medium to full-bodied, supple and incisive, it's a rich but vibrant wine that exhibits the potential of the Côtes de Castillon in vintages like this.

Antonio Galloni, April 2023, Score: 91-93
The 2022 Joanin-Bécot is one of the best vintages I can remember tasting. Heady and explosive in the glass, the 2022 offers up copious red/purplish berry fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol and licorice all saturate the finish. This could be a Sleeper. Drink 2025-2034.

Goedhuis, April 2023, Score: 92-94
Full of fresh lively red fruits, cranberry, sour cherry and mulberry. A very approachable style, plump and generous, it is gourmandise in its fullness and charm, with a clarifying limestone chalky bite on the finish.

Jancis Robinson, April 2023, Score: 16
Livelier and more fragrant than in the past. Juicy fruit backed by firm but ripe tannins, the finish fresh. (James Lawther MW) 15% Drink 2027 – 2035

I loved the 2022 Château Joanin Bécot, which might be the finest vintage I've tasted from this château. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, harvested between the 15th and 26th of September and aged in 50% new barrels, it has a vivid purple hue as well as awesome aromatics of black raspberries, chalky minerality, and flowers. As with many of these top Castillon releases, it tastes like a top Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé and is medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and terrific balance.

Château Beauséjour Bécot
Like certain Left Bank estates, Ch Beau Séjour Bécot was once part of a larger estate that had been separated into two (the other being Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse). Located west of the village of St Emilion, it lies next to other sought after properties such as Canon and Angélus.
