The Dragon de Quintus 2018 is a stunning Bordeaux blend from the esteemed Chateau Quintus in France. A deep ruby hue greets the eye, hinting at the richness and complexity within. On the nose, aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrants, and plums mingle with delicate notes of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, this full-bodied wine showcases its well-structured tannins and elegant acidity, leading to a long, lingering finish. As it opens up, hints of chocolate and spice emerge, adding layers of depth to the already impressive flavor profile. This vintage is a true reflection of the exceptional terroir and meticulous winemaking at Chateau Quintus. A perfect accompaniment to a hearty meal or a special occasion, the Dragon de Quintus 2018 is a true masterpiece of Bordeaux.
Winemakers Notes
Château Quintus, a new icon on the Right Bank
Domaine Clarence Dillon purchased a superb Saint-Emilion estate in 2011, then a neighbouring property in 2013 and a third in 2021. These three exceptional vineyards now form a 45-hectare estate that produces one of Saint-Emilion's Grand Vin wines. The Gallo-Romans who planted the vineyards of Saint-Emilion used to name their fifth child Quintus (fifth). Domaine Clarence Dillon has therefore decided to pay tribute to its glorious ancestors by renaming the vineyard Château Quintus.
Le Dragon de Quintus
is the second wine of the estate. 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.
