A blue-blooded Bordeaux with 94 pts from James Suckling!

SEND PAGE TO FRIEND

Why do we love it?

Château Quinault L’Enclos 2019 is the Bordeaux you’ve been searching for. Elegance, balance, expressive fruit, beautifully integrated oak, and the meticulous attention to detail of Cheval Blanc — all wrapped up in a wine that scored 94 points from James Suckling, at a surprisingly modest price. Don’t overthink it. You deserve this gift — treat yourself.

At the southern edge of Libourne, just steps from the curves of the Dordogne River, lies one of the most distinctive “urban” vineyards of Saint‑Émilion: Château Quinault L’Enclos. The estate turned a new page in 2008 when it became part of the Cheval Blanc family. Since then, the same team — under the guidance of Pierre Lurton — has cared for it with the same precision, shifting to organic farming (certified since 2012) and crafting a wine that reflects both the unique microclimate of the site and the timeless finesse that defines Cheval Blanc.

It’s worth noting that in 2012, the estate was officially classified as a Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Émilion. However, a few years later, following Cheval Blanc’s lead, it chose not to participate in the 2022 classification process. The 20-hectare single vineyard features soils rich in gravel, sand, and clay, and includes some rare old vines over 50 years of age — a true rarity in the region.

For the 2019 vintage, the blend consists of 74% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermentation takes place in oak vats, followed by aging for around 18 months in French oak barrels, about 50% of which are new. This approach gives the wine a velvety texture without overpowering the fruit.

In the glass, it reveals striking aromas of black cherry, red currant, and plum, with hints of licorice, pepper, and violet. Over time, notes of chocolate, vanilla, eucalyptus, and cigar box emerge.

On the palate, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a modern Saint‑Émilion: medium-bodied, with smooth, refined tannins and refreshing acidity. Juicy red and black berries, plum, cocoa, vanilla, cedar, violet, and lavender come together in a truly impressive ensemble.

CHÂTEAU QUINAULT L’ENCLOS 2019

PAIR IT

Pair it with beef ragout with mushrooms, filet mignon with bordelaise sauce and dauphinoise potatoes, and slow braised rooster “pastitsada”.

Beef Ragout with matsata pasta and kalathaki of Limnos cheese

  • 1 pack of matsata pasta
  • 100 g of Lemnos basil cheese
  • 1200 g beef (for stew)
  • 2 tbsps. flour
  • 2 medium onions
  • 1 big carrot
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 4-5 shallots
  • 200 ml. red wine
  • 350 ml. hot beef stock
  • 250 gr. concassed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp of sugar
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • 1 sprig of fresh thyme
  • Parsley
  • Fresh pepper
  • Olive oil

Wash and dry the meat well using absorbent paper.

Cut into smaller pieces, sprinkle with flour and sauté in a deep saucepan with olive oil until golden brown. Do not sauté them all together to maintain the high pot temperature. Do it partially and keep the meat warm in another utensil.

At the same time, clean and chop onions, carrot and garlic. Sauté them into the pot that you roasted the meat.

Pour in the red wine, keeping a high temperature, and with a wooden spoon "scrape" the saucepan to get all the "deliciousness" from the meat.

Then transfer the meat back to the saucepan with the sauce, add tomatoes, herbs, sugar and pepper.

Lower the fire, add the broth and let simmer for about 3 hours without forgetting to control the fluids after 2.5 hours.

The sauce must be rich and thick, so remove from the heat, when the liquids are still sufficient. Of course, keep in mind that it will thicken as it cools down.

When the beef is ready, add a little chopped parsley and prepare the pasta.

In a pot with plenty of boiling water, add a little salt and then, the pasta. When they are ready, drain them and transfer them back to the pot. Add about half of the sauce and a little chopped parsley, mix well and serve.

In the serving, add more sauce to each dish and crumbled cheese.
