3.8/5 (13 customers)

Ratings: Le Point (Jacques Dupont) 16/20, RVF 15/20
At Château Les Jonqueyes, tradition and a commitment to excellence are at the heart of everything we do. Every detail is meticulously attended to: from cultivating the vines as naturally as possible (no chemical herbicides or insecticides) to the harvest, winemaking, and aging. This 2005 vintage, highly expressive and representative of its appellation’s terroir, has delighted the wine press. A highly successful wine from a 2005 vintage that is becoming increasingly rare. A must-have... Hurry, these are the last bottles of 2005!

Rated estate (2012 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

“Merlot, which makes up the vast majority (90%) of this vineyard with its very modest yields, gives Jonqueyres’ wines a very pure fruitiness and true harmony, without any harshness. The estate—which also cultivates the Clos Alphonse Dubreuil in Côtes de Bourg—is impeccably managed, boasting a beautiful heritage of old vines. The most recent vintages impress with their tannic depth. They are at their best when young. Château Les Jonqueyres is currently in the process of converting to organic farming. We award it its first star.”

Review by Mr. CHRISTOPHE Y. Published on January 5, 2019

An excellent wine. Tasted in 2019. It hasn't reached its full potential yet, but that's just fine...
