Château Quintus Saint-Émilion Grand Cru AOC

Château Quintus is the 5th child within the Domaine Clarence Dillon family of wines. Its name is a tribute to the Gallo-Romans, creators of Saint-Emilion’s vineyards, who had the custom of naming their fifth child Quintus.

A perfect marriage between Merlot and Cabernet Franc, whereby the qualities of each grape variety are expressed to the full. This 2019 Quintus is clearly a tremendous success.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 15.5%

APPEARANCE
Deep red colour with crimson highlights.

NOSE
Powerful, intense and complex bouquet, bursting with notes of ripe, black fruit, particularly blackcurrant. Spicy and subtle overtones are already perceptible.

PALATE
The attack is broad-based and fleshy, with a remarkably caressing sensation, becoming full-bodied, with smooth and fine-grained tannins mid-palate. The finish is long, without any hardness whatsoever.

AGEING
18 months in 40% new oak barrels.

PAIRING
This powerful red goes perfectly with red onion stuffed with couscous and apricots, boeuf bourguignon or vegetable couscous with beef meatballs.
