Chateau Jonqueyres is the ideal, Merlot based Bordeaux for every day drinking. In the words of Robert Parker, Chateau Jonqueyres makes “high quality wines that can compete with more famous estates.”

Wine maker notes

The grapes are harvested by hand as late as possible for optimal maturity and are meticulously sorted to remove any imperfect fruit. The fermentation and vatting process is extended to three weeks for maximum extraction of color and flavor. Ch. Jonqueyres is matured in oak casks, one third of which are new each year. The wine is vinified so as to deliver the maximum expression of fruit with a fine balance of concentration, ripe tannis and a discreet touch of oak.
