94 Robert Parker
A blend of 69% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon aged exclusively in 500-liter barrels, 50% new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Quinault l'Enclos opens with expressive black cherries, red currants and black raspberries notes with hints of baking spices, cigar box and bay leaves plus a waft of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with vibrant red and black fruits, supported by finely grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and spicy.

Château Quinault
One 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.
