After the 2000 vintage, Juliette Bécot and her father Gérard Bécot wanted to join forces to acquire a new family property. A new challenge for Gérard, and for his daughter Juliette, who is taking her first steps in this magical and exciting profession.
It was while searching in the neighboring Appellations of Saint-Emilion, a property offering great potential due to the quality of its wines and its terroirs, that they discovered Château Joanin in Saint-Philippe-d’Aiguille. With the desire to personalize this vineyard, they wanted to add their family name to it. Thus, they brought this vintage to life, giving it a first and last name: “Joanin Bécot”.
The main desire, through each vintage, is to preserve all the flavors and charm of the fruit, while relying on the notion of terroirs, truly attractive and promising in the “Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux” appellation.
