Château Quinault l’Enclos

Producer description of "Château Quinault l'Enclos"

The vineyard is located in the municipality of Libourne in the Saint-Émilion area (Bordeaux). Its origins are thought to date back to the 17th century. In 1930, the estate became the property of wine merchant Baptiste Mons, whose son-in-law then sold it to Alain Reynaud in the 1990s for a rumoured 3.4 million US dollars. He made extensive investments in improvements under the advice of oenologist Michel Rolland. Finally, in 2008, the estate was bought by Bernard Arnault (*1949), founder of the luxury goods group LVMH and co-owner of Château Cheval Blanc. The estate then converted to organic viticulture. The estate was classified as a Grand Cru Classé for the first time in 2012. The vineyards cover 20 hectares of vines with the varieties Merlot (83%), Cabernet Franc (12%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 18 months in 50% new barriques. The second wine is called "Lafleur de Quinault".

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
