Gorgeous aromatics, so expressive and alive, deep, dark, seductive, blackcurrant, black cherry and cola. Rich and layered, but cool and so fresh – a quiet confidence, clearly concentrated but so well worked. Gorgeous detail and purity, tannins are full and filling but so fine, really giving a firm structure to the wine that balances the fruit richness. Smooth and supple, this has an excellent energy and focus, but still with power and depth and I just love the milk chocolate, slightly spiced, cola and vanilla and clove elements you get from the old-vine Cabernet Franc. Structured and confident, this will be lovely to drink. Still tense now, but lovely potential and nuance. A yield of 40hl/ha. Contains grapes from an old parcel of Cabernet Franc at more than 70 years old. 3.7pH. Ageing 45% new oak barrels, 25% 300l stainless steel tanks and 30% barriques of one year old wine. 28 days maceration, at 25-28 degrees. The team works organically, with vines never treated with herbicide, but the estate is not certified. Paul Junet winemaker/consultant.

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.

Notes of cassis, dark wild berries and spices mingled with floral notes preface the 2022 Clos Junet, a medium to full-bodied, dense and layered wine framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, dark berries-inflected finish. Charming and polished, this is a great effort.

This rich St.-Emilion has good depth, showing dark cherries, blackberries and a touch of warm bread and graphite. Pretty full-bodied and flavorful with nicely chewy tannins offering proper structure. 65% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 5% malbec. Drink from 2027.

90-92 Ripe red and blue fruits, leafy, sappy herbs, and some graphite-like nuances emerge from the 2022 Château Clos Junet, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, elegant Saint-Emilion. A blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Malbec, from a tiny 3-hectare vineyard of more sandy soils, it will spend 15 months in 35% new oak.

The 2022 Clos Junet is packed with blackberry, espresso, licorice, new leather, incense and chocolate. This bold, luscious Saint-Emilion is all charm.

88-90 A blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Malbec, the 2022 Clos Junet is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose opens with pepper-laced blackberries, juicy black plums, and boysenberry preserves notes, followed by hints of underbrush and cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers nice bright black fruit layers with a slight chewiness to the texture and a peppery lift on the finish.
