What is this wine?
Château Clos Junet Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2018 is a Merlot-led Bordeaux blend from the limestone and clay slopes of Saint-Émilion. A small, family-run estate, Clos Junet emphasizes traditional viticulture and careful barrel aging to highlight the appellation’s supple texture and aromatic depth. The 2018 vintage—warm and generous—produced concentrated, plush wines with remarkable balance and freshness.

Why get this wine?
Clos Junet offers authentic Saint-Émilion character at outstanding value. The 2018 vintage captures ripe black fruit and silky tannins in a rich yet elegant style, showcasing why this vintage ranks among the best of the decade. It’s a classic Right Bank wine—approachable now but with enough structure to age gracefully for years.

What does this wine taste like?
Round and expressive, with notes of blackberry, plum, and mocha layered with hints of violet, spice, and cedar. The palate is full and velvety, framed by fine tannins and a long, balanced finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Delicious now with a short decant, and will evolve through 2030. Pair with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, or mushroom risotto. Serve slightly below room temperature.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"The 2018 Clos Junet turned out beautifully. Rich, ample and textured in the glass, Clos Junet has a ton to offer. Blackberry jam, chocolate, new leather, licorice, spice and dried herbs all blossom in the glass. Bright floral and blood orange notes perk up the finish." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

89 points

"The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Clos Junet delivers notes of juicy black and red plums, baked blackberries and boysenberries with touches of star anise, cedar chest and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate offers a good concentration of ripe blackberry flavors with a chewy texture and just enough freshness, finishing savory." —Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Wine Enthusiast

91 points

"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. Drink from 2024." —Roger Voss
