2020 Quintus

LIMITED QUANTITY The property The story of Quintus is as ancient as that of Saint-Emilion itself, as one of the region’s oldest vineyards, planted as early as the 4th or 5th century B.C. Perched on a limestone promontory (mound) culminating at an altitude of 62 meters, Château Quintus is located on the southwestern extremity of the Saint-Emilion plateau and shares its beautiful exposure and fabulous microclimate with the most renowned properties of this appellation. With 28 hectares of vines, the estate boasts exceptional biodiversity thanks to its two-hectare park with majestic holm oaks, low walls and slopes. The teams’ daily efforts to developing this incredible biodiversity have already been rewarded by a double certification: High Environmental Value and ISO14001. Tasting A magnificent deep, purple colour. The concentration sensed on the first nose is impressive. When swirling the wine, aromas of very ripe red and black fruit mingle with spicy hints and give a superb sensation of complexity. The first taste feels ample and fleshy and then the wine develops, full of flavour, on a flawless, tightly-knit, juicy texture of tannin. The wine stretches out in length with a lot of taste. The Cabernet Franc, representing more than 30% of the blend, undeniably structures this vintage, while giving it freshness too. A superb Quintus.
