Tasting Notes
In the glass, this should show a deep ruby to garnet colour, with some evolution at the rim from bottle age. The nose is likely to open with black cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, and subtle earthy notes, alongside hints of dried herbs and spice. On the palate, expect a polished, medium-bodied style with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and layers of dark fruit, graphite, and savoury complexity. The finish should be elegant and persistent, with enough structure to continue developing for several more years if well stored.

Production
Quinault L'Enclos is based in Saint-Émilion, where the region’s gravelly and clay-limestone soils help produce wines with both richness and finesse. The estate benefits from a Bordeaux terroir well suited to classic Right Bank reds, typically harvested with care to preserve fruit purity and balance. Vinification is carried out in the traditional Bordeaux style, with fermentation and ageing designed to enhance structure, texture, and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for around 30–60 minutes if the bottle has been stored for a long time or if you want to bring out its aromatic depth.
