This has aromas of blueberries, mulberries, plums, cloves and praline. Fresh herbs, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Nicely structured and fleshy. 60% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 10% malbec. Drink from 2024.
Coming from the up-and-coming Paul Junet (who also consults at Château d'Aiguilhe Querre), the 2020 Château Clos Junet is an outstanding Saint-Emilion based on 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Malbec pulled from a tiny three hectares of vines located southwest of the Saint-Emilion plateau. This is slightly sandier soil, and the wine saw a standard 28-day maceration and aging 85% in 40% new French oak, with 15% of the blend raised in tank. Perfumed framboise, spice, dried flowers, and a kiss of minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with firmer tannins, good balance, and outstanding length. Give bottles a year or two and enjoy through 2030.
