Château Joanin Bécot - Côtes de Bordeaux Castillon - Red - 2019

Wine:

The 2019 Joanin Bécot, from the limestone plateau near Saint-Emilion, immediately impresses with its ripe dark fruit aromas, accented by a touch of spice and well-integrated oak. On the palate, it’s both powerful and elegant, with fine tannins and a perfect balance of fruit and freshness. The long, gently smoky finish makes it a wine to enjoy now or to cellar for a few more years. Rated 93/100 by Parker.

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with manual punch-downs. The maceration lasts around 35 days, with malolactic fermentation done in tanks.
