					<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 is the second wine of Château Quintus. The name originates from the dragon statue that towers above the magical terroir of Saint-Emilion, perched high upon the promontory, where the estate is located.

Thanks to this ideal spell of weather in 2019, all the grape varieties were harvested at peak ripeness and at a leisurely pace. This Dragon is definitely well-balanced and delicious.

For more info, visit <strong>Château Quintus </strong><a href="http://www.chateau-quintus.com">website</a>.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
86% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc

<strong>VINTAGE</strong>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 15%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Beautiful dark red colour.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
Initially intense, fruity and refreshing, the nose gains complexity with aeration, revealing discreet hints of oak alongside very ripe black fruit aromas.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Starts out fine and elegant on the palate, becoming full-bodied with relatively long and concentrated tannins, accompanied by fruity notes. This vintage of Le Dragon is definitely well-balanced and delicious.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
18 months in 33.5% new oak barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This rounded red works perfectly with Indian curry, osso buco or lamb stew with chickpeas and dried figs.</p>

					<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 is the second wine of Château Quintus. The name originates from the dragon statue that towers above the magical terroir of Saint-Emilion, perched high upon the promontory, where the estate is located.

2012 is a truly fine vintage for early-ripening terroirs such as Saint-Emilion.<b> </b>The first word that comes to mind here is: harmonious. It will be ready to drink fairly young and should provide a great deal of pleasure.

For more info, visit <strong>Château Quintus </strong><a href="http://www.chateau-quintus.com">website</a>.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
79% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc

										<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>

					<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.

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.

										<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>
