Château Quintus Saint Emilion gcc 2019 0,75l
Château Quintus belongs to Domaine Clarence Dillon and sits on the hillsides of Saint-Émilion, where several historic properties have been united into a single, ambitious Grand Cru. Its vineyards on clay-limestone soils are planted mainly with merlot and cabernet franc, giving both supple richness and fresh tension. The bouquet shows dark cherry, plum and berries layered with violets, spice, smoke and a hint of espresso. On the palate Quintus is silky, precise and long, with ripe, polished tannins and lively acidity. Mineral notes and subtle herbal tones carry the persistent finish, making it an elegant match for lamb, veal and refined meat dishes.
Ageing in French barriques with 38.2 percent new oak smooths the tannins and contributes to a complex, full-bodied structure.
