Ranking notes: James Suckling 89/100, Jancis Robinson 16/20, Robert Parker 86/100

"The second wine, the 2011 Le Dragon de Quintus, is a pleasant effort revealing hints of caramel, mocha, black cherries, plums and earth. Medium-bodied with sweet tannin, no herbaceousness, and a somewhat short finish, it is a well-made second wine. There are high expectations for this new project of the Domaines Clarence Dillon (formerly known as Tertre Daugay). It will be interesting to follow the evolution of these wines given the brilliance of the winemaking team at La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion." - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Château Quintus

Established in 2011, Château Quintus is an age-old vineyard with an extraordinary past, present and future. Its history is closely linked to that of Saint-Emilion, one of the oldest winegrowing areas of the region. Perched on a limestone promontory, culminating at an altitude of 62 metres, Quintus offers up a breath-taking 360-degree view across the Dordogne valley. Its topography, boasting a plateau and featuring north, west and south facing slopes, comprises an incredible abundance of micro-climates and limestone soils, especially well suited for extricating the finest qualities of the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varietals. The property released its 10th vintage this past year, with its highly acclaimed 2020. The environmental specificity of Château Quintus lies in its Mediterranean Green Belt, a true haven of biodiversity. The sublime natural gardens and terraces of Quintus, representing two hectares, are enchanting from the very the first glance. These boast numerous hedgerows, majestic holm oaks, low stone walls and verdant escarpments. These treasures of the landscape heritage that surround the plots of vines are important shelters for natural allies, vital to the success of the vineyard. In 2021, the property grows with the acquisition of Château Grand-Pontet and becomes one of Saint-Emilion’s largest properties, representing 45 hectares (111 acres), 42 (104 acres) of which are planted in vines. « In 2011, my family, our team and I expressed our ambitious goals, with our communicated desire to craft one of the very finest wines possible in Saint-Emilion. By assembling some of the most promising parcels and terroirs we would attempt to create a new star of the Right bank; Quintus. After more than 10 vintages, I am proud to say that our exceptional winemaking team are excelling at meeting this challenge » Robert de Luxembourg
