Description

A structured and aromatic Saint-Émilion second wine

The property

Château Quintus was born from the union of the terroirs of Château Tertre Daugay and Château L’Arrosée, acquired by the family company Domaine Clarence Dillon in 2011 and 2013 respectively. Château Quintus thus became the fifth estate of the Domaine Clarence Dillon group, alongside Châteaux Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. The estate takes its name from the Gallo-Roman tradition of naming one’s fifth child Quintus.

The vineyard

The 28-hectare vineyard of this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru owes its uniqueness to its mosaic of terroirs. The vines, averaging 30 years of age, are planted on the plateau on a succession of south-facing limestone strata, as well as on clay-limestone and gravel soils exposed to the south in the northern part of the estate.

The wine

Dragon de Quintus is the second wine of Château Quintus.

The vintage

The weather conditions in winter and spring promoted early budbreak and flowering. The summer period was marked by an extremely dry climate with no rain between mid-June and mid-August, leading to a slowdown in vine development. The vine was protected from water stress by its clayey terroir and the ample reserves from a wet spring. Throughout the vegetative cycle, viticultural practices were adapted to the vintage, notably through limited interventions in summer. Thus, green harvesting was restricted in order to preserve the vine foliage and protect it from sun exposure. Thanks to the early harvest, grapes were picked at full maturity.

Blend

Merlot (84.7%) and Cabernet Franc (15.3%).
