A Modern Right Bank Masterpiece

Château Quintus, the revered Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, is the fifth great wine from the illustrious Domaines Clarence Dillon stable. Perched on a magnificent limestone promontory, this estate benefits from a unique terroir that imbues the wine with exceptional freshness and minerality. It represents the perfect fusion of Merlot’s opulence and Cabernet Franc’s structure.

Tasting Notes (Reference Vintage)

• Colour: Intense, deep garnet-purple.
• Nose: Highly complex and expressive, revealing concentrated blackcurrant and plum fruit, beautifully framed by notes of new cedar, cigar box, and delicate sweet spices.
• Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, with a core of rich fruit supported by ultra-fine, polished tannins. The finish is exceptionally long and vibrant, showcasing the elegant structure and long-term ageing potential that is the hallmark of top-tier Saint-Émilion.

Serving Suggestion

Allowing this Grand Cru to breathe is essential; decant for 90-120 minutes if enjoying young. It is the quintessential wine for a celebratory dinner. Serve at 17°C.
