Perched on a dramatic limestone promontory on the south-western edge of Saint-Émilion, Château Quintus represents a masterclass in Right Bank winemaking. Acquired in 2011 by Domaine Clarence Dillon—the prestigious family-owned group behind Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion—the property was created by combining prime vineyard parcels from historic estates, including the former Château Tertre Daugay and Château Laroque.

Benefiting from 360-degree exposure, a exceptional microclimate, and complex limestone-clay soils, the estate produces Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wines known for their silkiness, structural elegance, and deep concentration of dark fruit. Driven predominantly by Merlot and balanced with Cabernet Franc, Château Quintus delivers a modern expression of an iconic ancient terroir.

The 2020 Quintus is one of the most successful renditions of this wine to date, offering up aromas of dark cherries, wild berries, sweet spices and licorice framed by nicely integrated new oak. Full-bodied, seamless and integrated, it's fleshy and layered, with powdery tannins, succulent acids and impressive overall balance despite its 15.4% alcohol. Indeed, while this is obviously a powerful, broad-shouldered Saint-Émilion, in terms of oak and extraction it's far from excessive.

Wow. This is very chalky and salty with lots of mineral character. It shows lots of purple fruit and firm tannins. Racy and bright. Chewy yet fine tannins. Gorgeous. Gets better and better.
