Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château Quinault L'Enclos, St Emilion Grand Cru, 2021

This Cheval Blanc owned chateau in the suburbs of Libourne has developed a reputation for good value, honest wines. They lost quite a lot the crop, so yields are a paltry 20 hl/ha. Floral, with notes of dark cherry jam. This is nicely measured with fine acids and a good sense of vertical poise. Finishes with chocolate and fresh cherry. Not complex but nicely balanced fruit and some dark intrigue. 13% Alc.

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

This has really kept its style from En Primeur, with clarity and lift to the fruit, bright blueberry, graphite, savoury, raspberry leaf and fresh fruits, soft extractions, a little austere, as is classic in the vintage. 50% new oak (500l casks), and then the rest up to 5 years old so neutral oak impact. Low yields of 20hl/h yields after frost and mildew. Organic certified since 2014.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

Composed of 59% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Quinault L'Enclos sings of crushed blueberries, blackberries, and raspberry preserves, plus suggestions of dried mint, dark chocolate, underbrush, and cardamom. Medium-bodied, the palate has soft, skillfully managed tannins and plenty of mid-palate black and red fruit flesh, finishing with a minty lift.

Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2021 Quinault l'Enclos, of which 50% of the crop was lost due to mildew, has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, hints of licorice coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with strict tannins, very linear and saline in style. It’s a bit short and, you could argue, mean, though it keeps you coming back for more.
