Chateau Quinault l'Enclos

Château Quinault l'Enclos has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. The estate was purchased in 2008 by the owners of the famous Château Cheval Blanc , one of the most prestigious wineries in Saint-Émilion. Since the takeover, significant investment has been made in the vineyards and winemaking facilities, which has led to a significant improvement in wine quality.

The Quinault l'Enclos vineyards cover approximately 20 hectares and are located on very gravelly soil with excellent drainage properties. This soil type is ideal for growing quality grapes. The vineyards are planted with a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which is typical of the Saint-Émilion region. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected to use only the best fruit for wine production. Fermentation takes place in a combination of concrete and stainless steel tanks, which helps to preserve the fruity and fresh qualities of the wine. The wine is aged in a mix of new and one-year-old French oak barrels and large foudres, which adds to the complexity and structure of the wine without the oak flavors being overpowering.
