Kirsch liqueur, spice, and mineral notes are the hallmarks of this wine, which combines breed, power, and elegance. Supple tannin, a medium-bodied, plush texture, and fine purity characterize this delicious, complex, stylish St.-Emilion. Drink it now as well as over the next 12+ years.15 Rene Gabriel98: Recht helles Rubin. Leichtes, fruchtiges Bouquet, schlank. Im Gaumen mager, graziler Körper, der sich mit 100 % neuem Holz schwer tun wird. 15/20 vorbei Producer Château QuinaultOne of the great Saint-Émilion estates, Château Quinault l’Eclos sits in the center of Libourne along the border with Pomerol. Home to 19 hectares of vineyards, the vines average around 60-70-years-old and are planted to 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Known as one of Bordeaux’s supercuvées or vins de garage, Quinault l’Enclos has been owned by Cheval Blanc’s Bernard Arnault of LVMH since 2008. Today, Pierre Lurton and his team from Cheval Blanc manage Château Quinault l’Enclos. The resulting wines are ripe, fresh and well-rounded, making them one of the appellation’s best wines to drink young.
