Description
Château Quintus is the fifth estate in the Domaine Clarence Dillon family. The name 'Quintus' is a tribute to the Gallo-Romans, the original wine growers of Saint-Émilion, who had the custom of naming their fifth child 'Quintus'. The Dragon de Quintus 2019 is the beautiful 2nd wine of Château Quintus and delivers a generous bouquet of rich, plummy fruit and creamy new oak. Medium to full bodied with a core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and juicy acidity and finished with a long finish. As usual, this bottling is mostly sourced from lower-lying plots on deeper, sandy soils than those on which the grand vin is based and this also makes this wine more approachable and drinkable earlier than its big brother. This is a 1.5 litre magnum.

The 2019 Dragon de Quintus has turned out nicely, delivering a generous bouquet of rich, plumy fruit and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's seamless and polished, with its sweet core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and succulent acids, concluding with an expansive finish. As usual, this bottling tends to derive from lower-lying parcels on deeper, sandier soils than those that inform the grand vin.

Beautiful aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with licorice and tile, following through to a medium to full body with fine tannins and a delicious, creamy finish. So attractive. Second wine. Best after 2025.

From: Bordeaux 2019: The Southwold Tasting (Feb 2023)
The 2019 Le Dragon de Quintus has an attractive nose with a fair amount of new oak, creamier in style, but there is substance behind it. The palate is flattering with plush black fruit, lightly spiced, fine depth and cohesion with a dash of black pepper towards the persistent finish. Lovely. You could almost broach this now. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Château Quintus is a prestigious wine estate located in Saint-Émilion, one of the most famous wine regions in Bordeaux, France. The castle has a rich history dating back to Roman times, but it was revived in 2011 when it was acquired by Domaine Clarence Dillon, the owner of some of the most legendary wineries in Bordeaux, such as Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion.
Vineyards and Terroir
Château Quintus covers about 28 hectares of vineyards, located on the heights of the famous limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. This location offers an ideal terroir for the production of high-quality wines, thanks to its well-drained limestone soils that provide excellent drainage and water retention, and its altitude that contributes to thermal regulation, which is beneficial for the ripening of the grapes.
Viticulture and Winemaking
The vineyards are planted with a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the two main grape varieties of Saint-Émilion. The viticultural practices at Château Quintus are focused on sustainability and respect for the environment. This includes manual harvesting and meticulous selection of grapes to ensure that only the best fruit is used for wine production.
The vinification at Château Quintus combines traditional techniques with modern innovations. The grapes are carefully fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete barrels, followed by maturation in French oak barrels, some of which are new. This process helps develop the complex flavors and aromas that characterize the wines of Château Quintus.
Wines
Château Quintus produces primarily red wine, which is known for its elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The estate's top wine is Château Quintus, which regularly receives high scores from wine critics. In addition, the estate produces a second wine, Le Dragon de Quintus, which is intended to provide an earlier drinking experience while still maintaining high quality.
Tasting notes
The wines of Château Quintus are praised for their rich and concentrated flavors of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherries, plums, and cassis, complemented by subtle notes of spice, tobacco, and mineral accents. The tannins are usually well integrated and the acidity provides a refreshing balance, giving the wines a long and elegant finish.
