Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Ripe-berry, spice, blackberry and black-licorice aromas follow through to a full to medium body with medium chewy tannins and a finish of blue fruit. Try after 2024.

Wine Enthusiast

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.

Jeb Dunnuck

Coming from a tiny 3-hectare vineyard and sandy, clay soils, the 2018 Château Clos Junet is an interesting blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec. Lots of Cabernet Franc notes of red and blue fruits, flowers, forest floor, and spice give way to a medium-bodied, elegant Saint-Emilion with terrific purity, a balanced, elegant texture, and enough structure to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a solid decade or more.

Vinous Media

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. `
