"The 2020 Clos Junet is a sumptuous Saint-Émilion packed with inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and a good bit of oak. Clos Junet is not subtle, but it is incredibly delicious."

"A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Malbec, the 2020 Clos Junet is a sumptuous, fleshy wine offering up aromas of cherries, sweet berries and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and expansive palate, underpinned by powdery structuring tannins that assert themselves on the finish. Somewhat more structured than the immensely charming 2019, its lavish, ripe style will nevertheless lend itself to nearer-term consumption." -William Kelley

"Gorgeous floral on the nose, smells like Turkish Delight, with pink flowers, creamy vanilla and blackberry fruit. Smooth and supple, this has bite and tang to it - high acidity and fresh almost sharp fruits balanced by plush, bouncy tannins giving a wide feel that is also very controlled. Generous and forward, this has good movement and persistence from start to finish, with layers of red fruits, crushed stones, creamy vanilla, dried herbs - liquorice, tobacco, clove and aniseed, but all working together to give a complex and characterful mouthful of flavour and texture. Sculpted, fresh and refined. A lovely wine with approachability to drink today as well as signs it will age too. Still got some tension also and some mineral bite that I love. Vines are from a 3ha plot planted on a sandy clay soils located to the west of the St-Emilion limestone plateau."

"A good proportion of Cabernet Franc gives this wine a fine smoky perfumed scent. It has ripe berry fruits as well as a fine tannic element all balanced by acidity. The wine will be ready to drink from 2026."
