An extremely beautiful bottle of Quinault L’Enclos that can be savoured in its youth, but it also offers wonderful ageing potential. More info
Château Quinault L’Enclos showcases all the grandeur of the Saint-Émilion appellation with this wonderful wine, the result of blending Merlot (70%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Cabernet Franc (15%).
Intensely fruity and extremely expressive, the aromas in the glass begin with beautiful black fruits notes of blackberry and cherry before developing into spiced, peppery notes accompanied by delicate floral touches. On the palate, the wine is extremely precise. Smooth and rich, it is also ample, generous and balanced by a lively and dignified acidity. The finish seems never-ending, bringing the crisp fruit flavours along with it.

What the experts say...
This a very gravelly soil with great drainage, but not a lot of water during dry periods. Adeptly produced by the team of Cheval Blanc (who purchased the estate in 2008), the wine nonetheless maintained its poise under the dry, warm ripening conditions of 2018, coming in at a respectable pH of 3.67 and relatively moderate alcohol of 14.1%. The 2018 Quinault l'Enclos is blended of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc with 50% new oak and the rest in one-year-old barrels—but only 500-liter and foudres. Deep purple-black in color, it slips seductively out of the glass with notions of warm plums, blueberry preserves and mulberries with touches of spice box, tilled soil, black olives and licorice plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with muscular black fruit and licorice sparks, framed by rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a peppery kick.

Château Quinault is in the heart of Libourne. The walled 12-hectare vineyard is planted in hot gravelly soil, which raises the temperature in the vineyard a few degrees, resulting in earlier ripening of the grapes. Restored by Doctor Alain Raynaud, these old vines have benefitted from very modern growing and vinification techniques.
