Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)The NV Grand Cru (base 2022) is 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from Le Mesnil and Puisieulx, respectively. Dense and quite powerful, the 2022 offers quite a bit of textural richness. Tropical overtones add an exotic flair while also recalling the solar intensity of a year marked by heat and drought. I find it a bit reduced and therefore suggest readers open the wine as far in advance as possible. Hints of passion fruit, coconut, hazelnut and dried flowers linger. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2025. |

Under the expert stewardship of Jessica Litaud, renowned for her dedication to sustainable viticulture, each vintage reflects a harmonious balance of elegance and depth. Fermented in stainless steel vats to preserve its vibrant minerality, the 2020 vintage reveals expressive aromas of white peach, citrus zest, and subtle floral notes.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92)A clean fresh lemon yellow. The bouquet is just a little more precise and a little more crystalline than Sur La Roche, with possibly greater underlying intensity as well. We are clearly in white fruit territory with a fine mineral backbone. This is stylish and punchy at the same time. Drink from 2027-2034. |

Vinous (92)Shimmering ruby color. Lively red and blue fruit and floral aromas are sharpened by a spicy suggestion of white pepper. Juicy and broad on the palate, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry and boysenberry flavors that become firmer on the back half. Supple, even tannins shape the finely etched, clinging finish, which leaves a suave floral note behind. |

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (87-89)Good bright ruby-red. Aromas of blackberry, violet and bitter chocolate, along with some strong oak tones. At once dense and nicely aromatic, showing good breadth for the year but also the tougher tannins that characterize so many 2011s. Finishes with good length, though. |

Jeb Dunnuck (90)The 2017 Chateau Joanin Becot checks in as a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc from healthy yields of 35 hl/ha that spent 16 months in 50% new French ok.

This classic, elegant 2017 has terrific purity, bright acidity, a complex, layered style, and outstanding length. It's not a blockbuster but just classic all the way. |

Wine Advocate (92)Crafted by Juliette Bécot (from Beau-Séjour Bécot) and her team, the 2021 Joanin Bécot unveils its potential with a delightful, vibrant and dynamic profile, enriched with notes of cherries, dark wild berries, peonies and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, lively and gourmand, it’s seamless and supple with a vibrant, juicy core of fruit and an ethereal, saline finish. As usual, this overperforming estate from clay-limestone soils has produced a wine that punches above its weight, representing a significant and commendable achievement for a modest Castillon appellation. |
