Comment

Built in the 17th century, Château L’Enclos is certainly one of the most beautiful in its appellation, representative of the richness and elegance of the region’s historical and cultural heritage. The building was built in the center of the property, surrounded by 7 hectares around the castle and 16 others on the surrounding hillsides and heights, on soils from Castillon lacustrine limestone, hard, magnesian, with very good quality clays and passages rich in oxidized iron. The topography of the whole is well marked with good water drainage. These warm and well-sanitized soils allow a great aromatic richness of the wines and a quality harvest. The vineyard is managed in a reasoned manner with an organic cultivation orientation. Triple A, the estate's most famous wine, refers to the ratings given in the world of finance, a nod to the profession of the previous owner who created this brand and registered it with the INPI. The three A’s stand for Assembly, Authentic, Ad’hoc. Aged in French oak barrels, 50% of which are in new barrels.

Tasting

Very dark color, deep garnet, very intense. Intense and very elegant nose, developing a quality aromatic complexity (smoke, toffee, etc.) revealing the power of the fruit. Gourmet attack on the palate, with a beautiful sweetness, evolving on a balanced and powerful tannic amplitude, marked by its dynamics and its original tactile character. The finish stretches long with a return full of fruit.
