Château Quinault L'Enclos, GCC St-Emilion - 2020

  • Provenance: Bordeaux
  • Appellation: Saint-Emilion
  • Domain: Quinault L'Enclos
  • Grape variety(ies): Merlot (83 %), Cabernet Franc ( 12%) et Cabernet Sauvignon (5%)
  • On-call time: 15 years

  • 92/100 Note: 92/100 | Classement: Grand Cru Classé
Managing tannins is one of the lines that needed walking in 2020, and the warmer soils of Quinault compared to Cheval needed particular care. You find some traces of the solar nature of the summer on the nose, with eucalyptus, black pepper and rosemary spice, but there is freshness on the palate, well balanced and with density to the blackberry and black cherry fruits, finishing up with again the eucalyptus that is found in the aromatics, and a generous kick of spice. This is tightly structured, it is expertly handled but I would suggest looking to the 2019. Harvest September 3 to 23. 10 days over 30°C during that time - Decanter. Guide Vert RVF : 92/100

Viticulture

Located in the heart of Libourne, Château Quinault L'Enclos was bought in 2008 by the owners of Château Cheval Blanc. It has a fine heritage of old vines, the oldest of which date back to 1934, planted on 20 hectares of light gravel and sand. This terroir has been optimised after extensive work undertaken by the Château Cheval Blanc team, including deep soil work to encourage rooting.

Oenology

Vinification by parcel. Indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction. Long maceration. Manual pumping over and malolactic fermentation in vats. Aged for 12 months with quarterly racking. Aged in new 500 litre barrels (40%), one wine (40%), tuns (20%).
