Château Quintus 2022, Saint Emilion Grand Cru – 300cl
Château Quintus sits on a prominent limestone promontory overlooking the Dordogne valley on the eastern side of Saint Emilion. The estate was created by Domaine Clarence Dillon, owners of Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion, bringing the same meticulous attention to vineyard management and winemaking to Saint Emilion.
The vineyards are planted on limestone and clay soils, well suited to Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The elevated position of the estate allows for excellent drainage and exposure, producing wines that combine richness with freshness and structure.
The 2022 vintage in Saint Emilion produced wines of depth and precision. At Château Quintus the result is a wine that reflects both the character of the limestone plateau and the careful approach of the Clarence Dillon team.
Château Quintus 2022 tasting notes
Château Quintus 2022 shows aromas of black cherry, plum and dark berry fruit, layered with notes of graphite, violets and subtle spice.
On the palate the wine is concentrated yet refined, with ripe fruit supported by finely textured tannins. The finish is long and balanced, suggesting strong ageing potential.
Large format
This 300cl double magnum offers excellent potential for long term cellaring. The great wines of Saint Emilion develop beautifully with time, gaining complexity and finesse as they mature. In large formats the wine evolves more slowly, preserving freshness while allowing the structure and aromatics to unfold gradually.
