Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2018 Jean Faure is a vintage that I had tasted just a few weeks earlier as part of my vintage report, but I expressed reservations, and so I did not mind re-tasting another example so soon afterward. This was better and, I hope, more representative. It has a similar nose, light but better-defined than the previous bottles, with graphite-tinged black fruit. The main difference is that there is no green trait on the palate. Quite compact but with decent delineation, this is much more what I would expect from a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, and my score reflects this. |

Indulge in the flawless elegance of the Jean Voisin 2015. A Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Jean Voisin demonstrates sophisticated craftsmanship that is the epitome of French winemaking. At the heart of Saint-Émilion, the Voisin family meticulously hand harvests and manually sorts each grape to ensure optimal ripeness and purity.

The 2015 vintage showcases an exquisite balance of ripe, dark fruit complexities and velvety tannins, finishing with a lengthy and satisfying mineral-laden note. The winery’s commitment to sustainable viticulture, generation of family expertise and prime terroir are echoed in each drop. This is a wine truly representative of its prestigious heritage, showcasing an exceptional expression of elegance and power. The Jean Voisin 2015 is a perfect embodiment of Saint-Émilion's time-honoured tradition of excellence. |

Bordeaux | 10 | 87-89 (VN (ID)) | HK$1,690.00 | |||||
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. It has a juicy, forward, delicious style that offers lots of black cherry and mulberry fruit as well as plenty of earth, forest floor, and leafy herb aromas and flavors. 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. |

Jancis Robinson (16)90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 20 hl/ha (half the usual volume due to hail). No SO2 (at this stage). Cask sample. Pretty floral nose with violet notes. Hint of boiled sweets/hard candy as well. Lively and fruity, the tannins well honed. Touch of oak from the prise de bois but should settle. (JL) 14% |

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. |
