This is hyper fine and polished with currants, light chocolate and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Medium body. Fresh and very long. Extremely pretty and fine. Drinkable, but better in 2026. Drinking range: 2026 - 2035 Rating: 94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2023)

The 2020 Quinault L'Enclos is a gorgeous, deeply pitched Saint-Émilion. Rose petal, mint, dried herbs and sweet red berry fruit all grace this wonderfully layered, nuanced Saint-Émilion. Pure and nuanced, with terrific energy, Quinault has a ton to offer. In 2020, the Cabernets (15% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc) are super-expressive. There is just a bit of youthful austerity that needs time to soften. Drinking range: 2025 - 2035 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)
Loaded with energy and grip, majoring on black pepper, damson and black cherry fruit. The tannins remain austere at this point, pretty serious and closed down, with waves of espresso and violet promising more to come over the next decade. Pierre Lurton director of this 19ha estate, Pierre-Olivier Clouet technical director. Harvest September 3 to 23, an upscore from En Primeur.

The 2020 Quinault L'Enclos, which was cropped at 20hL/ha, has a slightly muted bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and a light saline influence. The palate is medium-bodied with a little rigidity on the entry, compact with sharp acidity. For me, it is missing some charm and flesh on the finish. So-so.

Château Quinault l'Enclos
A 19 hectare estate located in the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux. Although originating the the 17th century, the Château was not used in the production of wine until it was bought by négociant Baptiste Mons in 1930. Since then it has been brought along in leaps and bounds by Dr. Alain Raynaud until its sale in 2008 to Bernard Arnault and his associate Albert Frère, however Raynaud stayed on as a consultant at the property. The vines have a high average age of 60-70 years, and are planted on gravel, sand and clay terroir.
