Description
hateau Quinault L’Enclos, located in Saint Emilion is situated in the city of Libourne. However, the estate was not always considered a part of the St. Emilion appellation. Until 1973, the vineyard of Chateau Quinault L’Enclos was actually part of the satellite appellation of Sables St. Emilion. The chateau was renovated and parts of the vineyard were replanted by Alain Raynaud who acquired it in 1997. Another change made by Alain Raynaud was a move from mechanical harvesting to picking by hand.
