Château Joanin Bécot’s 2012 Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux is a Merlot-dominant wine from clay-limestone soils just east of Saint-Émilion. Owned and managed by Juliette Bécot of Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, the estate brings classified growth precision to this value-driven terroir.

The 2012 shows mature red fruit, tobacco, and earthy spice with soft tannins and balanced acidity. A well-aged Right Bank Bordeaux offering classic structure and refined charm.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2012 Joanin Bécot is dark, open and quite seductive. Black cherry, plum, spice and leather all meld together in a very pretty, gracious wine with soft contours to drink now and over the next handful of years. The 2012 is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Jean-Philippe Fort is the consulting winemaker. This is a gorgeous wine that delivers superb quality as well as value." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 90
"This property continues to make terrific value wines. The 2012, a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, is a major sleeper of the vintage. Gorgeous, plump black cherry, kirsch and blackcurrant fruit mixed with incense, licorice and spice jump from the glass of this opaque ruby/purple wine. Fleshy, opulent and a dead ringer for a top Pomerol, this beauty from the Becot family is once again a major over-achiever." -Robert Parker

Wine Enthusiast

WE 91
"The wine has serious tannins and firm fruit that give an austere character at this stage. But it will develop and round out into a rich wine with ripe black fruits, always with a solid tannic structure. Owner Juliette Bécot manages the technical side here with consultant Jean-Philippe Fort from the Michel Rolland lab, and manages marketing at classed-growth Château Beauséjour-Bécot in nearby Saint-Émilion."
