					<description><![CDATA[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.

Le Dragon de Quintus takes its name from the dragon statue that has watched over the estate from its promontory above Saint-Émilion. Born from the same mosaic of terroirs as Château Quintus, it offers an expression driven by vibrant fruit, freshness and finesse. Accessible in its youth, it reveals a more immediate expression of the Quintus terroirs.

The 2012 vintage was uneven from bud break, which was disturbed by a cool, wet month of April, to véraison (color change), which took place over a long period. Fortunately, the months of July and August 2012 were ideal: warm and dry. In the end this 2012 is a truly fine vintage for early-ripening terroirs such as this.<b> </b>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 14%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Dense, purple-red color.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The nose is greeted by a variety of plums. As if that were not impressive enough, black cherry and vanilla also join in.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
The wine is attractive, very round, smooth and fresh, with red fruit, redcurrant and blueberry overtones.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
18 months in 40% new oak barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This developed red works perfectly as a pairing wine for a variety of meat and game dishes, but it’s also a pleasure when enjoyed solo.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 15.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Deep red colour with crimson highlights.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
Powerful, intense and complex bouquet, bursting with notes of ripe, black fruit, particularly blackcurrant. Spicy and subtle overtones are already perceptible.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
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.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
18 months in 40% new oak barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This powerful red goes perfectly with red onion stuffed with couscous and apricots, boeuf bourguignon or vegetable couscous with beef meatballs.</p>
