JOANIN BÉCOT 2018
Ks 262,000
Castillon–Côtes de Bordeaux, France
Crafted by Juliette Bécot of the Beau-Séjour Bécot lineage, Joanin Bécot 2018 is a Castillon overachiever—charming, polished, and far more sophisticated than its humble address suggests. Grown on clay-limestone soils just east of Saint-Émilion, this vintage bursts with plush plum, wild raspberry, and sweet tobacco, grounded by a fine mineral edge. It’s juicy yet poised, full-bodied yet fresh—a Right Bank beauty that proves great terroir and great hands go a long way, even outside the most famous postcodes.
