Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with purple reflections, hinting at its youth and concentration. The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of black cherry, plum, cassis, violets, cedar, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is likely to be supple yet structured, balancing generous dark fruit with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a savoury, mineral edge. The finish should be long and elegant, with the concentration and balance to reward cellaring over the next several years.

Production
Quinault L'Enclos is based in Saint-Émilion, where Bordeaux’s right-bank terroir combines clay and limestone soils with a temperate Atlantic climate ideal for ripe, structured reds. The grapes are typically harvested with careful parcel selection to preserve freshness and maturity, followed by traditional vinification aimed at gentle extraction and balance. Ageing in oak barrels helps build complexity, polish the tannins, and integrate the wine’s fruit, spice, and savoury notes.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef fillet, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses such as Comté or mature cheddar. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
