1998 Château Quinault L’Enclos | Saint-Émilion Grand Cru | 750ml

Right Bank Classic — Gravel Precision, Merlot Elegance & Mature Saint-Émilion Balance 🍷🏰

1998 Château Quinault L’Enclos is a beautifully matured Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from a strong Right Bank vintage, offering depth, polish, and refined structure. The estate’s gravel and clay soils near the Dordogne River lend freshness and lift, balancing Merlot’s richness with Cabernet-driven backbone.

It’s a compelling choice for collectors seeking mature Bordeaux that remains vibrant and expressive.
