Château Joanin Bécot 2023

A full-bodied and balanced red wine from Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux

The estate

Perfectly located in the town of Saint-Philippe d’Aiguilhe, the Château Joanin Bécot is one of the very fine references of the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, on the right bank of Bordeaux.

The vineyard

The Château Joanin Bécot 2023 comes from a vineyard of nearly 15 hectares composed of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). Planted on a large asteriated limestone-clay terroir, the old vines, averaging 40 years old, give birth to a great wine from Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux.

Vinification and ageing

Manual harvest with 3 stages in the sorting of the grapes (2 sorts before destemming, 1 after). Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Parcel selection and manual punch-downs. Maceration of 40 days on average. Malolactic fermentation in vats. The ageing is carried out in barrels (22% new, 22% of one wine), in vats (48%), in amphorae (2%) and in foudres (6%).
