Chateau Clos Junet Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2018 750 ML

This small estate west of the town of Saint-Émilion has produced a rich, structured wine with plenty of potential. Ripe, juicy blackberry fruits and a firm layer of dry tannins give the wine plenty of time to develop.\n \n Producer Information\n CLOS JUNET is a tiny property (3.5 hectares) owned and managed by a young and talented winemaker (Paul Junet is in his early 30’s). Paul took it over from his father, Patrick Junet. The property has been in the same family for 4 generations. This family property was acquired in the 19th century by Patrick Junet’s great grandfather! This small vineyard is located on the gentle slopes of a sandy incline, which lies to the west of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau. The Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec grape varieties grow here in ancient beds of sand with veins of red clay running through the sub-soil. There is a high proportion of Cabernet Franc (30%) and 10% Malbec that are giving this little “extra” for a wine of that caliber/price point. The ratings are unanimously excellent for such a value. This is a beautiful wine and there is definitively something special here. We highly recommend this wine!
