Guide Hachette des Vins (2020)
Expressif, le bouquet libère des arômes fruités (cerise, mûre) et floraux (violette) que complète une touche d'épices douces. Ample, le palais séduit par son caractère soyeux et sa profondeur, tandis que la trame tannique vient rappeler en finale que ce vin est de grande garde. Patience, donc.
Le Figaro Vin (2019)
Un vin d'une belle profondeur, dont le fruit n'est pas dissimulé par le bois, qui l'accompagne élégamment. Les notes de cerise noire, de mûre, de cassis, de fleurs et une touche fumée lui offre une belle complexité et sa structure digne et vive en fera un vin de très bonne garde.
Yves Beck (2018)
Rouge grenat aux reflets violets. Belle intensité du bouquet avec des notes fruitées et rafraîchissantes. Beaucoup de finesse, notes mentholées et baies rouges. Mise en bouche friande, et précise. Le vin a de la finesse, du fruit et des tannins compacts qui sont en synthèse avec la structure. Le fruit parvient également à bien se révéler en bouche avec une finale qui réunit tous les éléments. Fruits, tannins et race. Finale persistante. 2023-2041

James Suckling (2019)
A juicy and very elegant Quinault, showing hazelnut, dark-berry and cedar character. Medium body, with a lovely, fine-tannin texture and a delicious finish. Drink after 2022.

Another fresh, pretty wine from the team at Cheval Blanc, the 2016 Château Quinault l'Enclos has nuanced notes of black cherries, blackberries, leafy herbs, and saddle leather. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced and seamless on the palate, with terrific purity, it will benefit from just a handful of years in the cellar.
Vinous - Neal Martin (2019)
The 2016 Quinault L’Enclos continues the estate's policy of increasing the Cabernet Sauvignon (now at 20%). It has a refined bouquet with graphite and light cedar aromas emanating from that Cabernet, the oak taking a backseat since it is entirely aged in 500-liter barrels. The classically styled palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin and a fresh line of acidity. The precise yet not powerful finish prioritizes detail over length and grip. Enjoy over the next 12 to 15 years.
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (2019)
The 2016 Quinault L'Enclos is very pretty and also intensely aromatic. Savory herb, mint, dried cherry, mocha and sweet tobacco are all lifted in this super-precise, nuanced Saint-Émilion. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. The 2016 is precise, nua and exquisitely beautiful, all in the understated style that is typical here.
Wine Advocate (2018)
This was the first vintage that technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet started to exclusively use 500-liter barrels for Quinault l'Enclos, decreasing the surface area to which the wines are exposed and, ultimately, the impact of the oak. The percentage of new oak is around 50%, and the blend is 68% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Quinault l'Enclos opens with expressive redcurrants, black raspberries and black cherries scents with savory suggestions of tapenade, dried herbs and tobacco plus a waft of cloves. Medium-bodied, the palate is fantastically bright and lively with loads of red fruit accents and a firm frame of grainy tannins, finishing on an earthy note.
Jancis Robinson (2017)
Cheval Blanc, the new owners, are increasing the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. 20% Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 2011, 12% Cabernet Franc, 68% Merlot. 50:50 new and one-year-old barrels. 500 litre (new approach at Cheval Blanc).Round and very fruity with some spice and cumin. Much better balanced than it used to be when aged in new oak and heavily extracted, though some sandpaper tannins on the end. Just a little bitter on the end.
Wine Enthusiast (2017)
Barrel Sample. The wine has 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, giving a fine black-currant flavor on top of the nice acidity. It's already a delicious wine, full of great fruit and gentle tannins. The vineyard, in the Right Bank town of Libourne, is definitely raising its game.
