Wine for sale: Château Quinault L'Enclos
Château Quinault L'Enclos
Discover our allocation of the week: Château Quinault l’Enclos (Saint-Emilion Grand Cru). Thanks to the Cheval Blanc team great savoir-faire and commitment, this 16-hectares vineyard produces complex and subtle wines, with a silky texture. A wine which clearly has the “Cheval state of mind” as said by la Revue du vin de France.
Château Quinault is in the heart of Libourne. The walled 12-hectare vineyard is planted in hot gravelly soil, which raises the temperature in the vineyard a few degrees, resulting in earlier ripening of the grapes. Restored by Doctor Alain Raynaud, these old vines have benefitted from very modern growing and vinification techniques.
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY...
BETTANE & DESSEAUVE
« This cru, located at the entrance of Libourne, on rather sandy soils, turns out to be more consistent and sophisticated in the recent vintages.”
LA REVUE DU VIN DE FRANCE
« The new team has progressively revealed an elegant wine, made from light gravelly soil, that turns out to be more complex than we once imagined.”
