Fra hjertet af Libourne-området i St. Emilion kommer denne pragtfulde vin fra en af områdets klarest lysende stjerner. Chateau Quinault L'Enclose er nabo til Cheval Blanc, og det er samme hold, der står bag driften her, hvor Henri Lurton er styrmand. Der bliver arbejdet efter hundrede procent økologiske præmisser, og samtidig er det et klart mål, at vinen skal være mindre fadpræget end tidligere. Derfor lagres halvdelen af vinen i gamle 500-liters træfade. Man fornemmer virkelig, at det er nogle af de store vinmagere, der har haft tøjlerne i produktionen af denne vin, der har et balanceret bærpræg med krydderier og luksuriøs elegance i smagen.

I continue to love this wine, and I think it's undervalued in the market. Coming from a walled vineyard near Libourne and managed by the incredible team at Cheval Blanc, the 2019 Château Quinault L'Enclos reveals a deep purple/ruby hue to go with a gorgeous seamless, medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced profile that epitomizes the style of the vintage. The tannins are flawlessly integrated, it has a great mid-palate, and it offers up a wonderful bouquet of darker cherries, currants, leafy herbs, and chocolate. It can be drunk today with incredible pleasure given its balance and purity, but it’s going to cruise in cold cellars for at least two decades. Best After 2022

This has linear, very fine tannins that make it minerally and long. Medium body. Dark fruit with lavender and violet undertones. Very fresh acidity. Flavorful and fine. 74% merlot, 14% cabernet sauvignon and 12% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Quinault L'Enclos is racy, supple and wonderfully inviting. A wine of depth and texture, the 2019 impresses with its exceptional balance and class. Sweet red berry fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco and licorice build beautifully with a bit of time in the glass. This is a terrific showing from Quinault, which as readers probably know, is owned by Cheval Blanc. Over the last dozen years more than half the property has been developed. The results are starting to show. One of the most unique aspects of Quinault is that 20% of the wine is aged in 550-liter barrels, which are used to confer greater freshness. The 2019 is flat out gorgeous.

Fra teamet bag Saint-Émilions mest berømte vin, Cheval Blanc, kommer denne grand cru classé, som med fem år på bagen burde nærme sig sit drikkevindue. Ikke helt dog. Næsen er svagt kruttet, og vinen har svært ved at give slip på frugten. Først når den har stået i glasset noget tid, åbner den sig – særligt i smagen. Vinen er stram, tæt og krydret, men jeg fornemmer koncentrerede noter af brombær og sorte kirsebær, chokolade og espresso, som peger i retning af stor vin. Drikkes den her og nu, skal den have luft, luft og atter luft – mindst et par timer før servering. Men så får du også et kongelags til din ribeye steak.

Aromas of sweet cherries, rose petals, violets and dark chocolate introduce the 2019 Quinault l'Enclos, a medium to full-bodied, ample and lively wine that's produced by Cheval Blanc's wine making team.

Round and ripe in feel, with a savory streak amid cassis, cherry and plum compote notes, while tobacco and red licorice wrap up the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now.
