Marks and reviews

Decanter

Fragranced and lively aromatics – raspberry, blackcurrant leaf, blueberries and cola tones with a floral scent too. Supple and friendly, this has a generous amount of clean raspberry and strawberry fruit with lively acidity that doesn’t overwhelm the expression. Calm and persistent with a creamy texture that gives an appealing mouthfeel. Mouthwatering acidity. It tapers a little in density toward the finish but the flavour continues. Feels classic with a cool touch and restraint. Definitely not overdone here and this has great clarity. 40% of Grand Pontet going into the grand vin this year. 21% production. Ageing in 39% new oak. 3.41 pH – one of the lowest pHs. Usually 3.5–3.6 pH.

Blending 92.8% Merlot with 7.2% Merlot produced a soft, charming, early-drinking wine filled with strawberry and raspberry, perfect for enjoying over the next few years. Drink from 2027–2031. 89–91 pts

Le Figaro Vin

A superb purity of fruit on the nose, very elegant, lifted by a comforting floral fragrance. On the palate, a juicy intensity, full of grace, carried by a slender verticality. The finish is sumptuous, lingering on subtle mocha nuances.

Yves Beck

The bouquet of Quintus reveals its élevage through notes of fresh wood complemented by red and black berry notes. The élevage is also evident on the palate. It matches the tannic structure, fine and perfectly integrated. A wine that can be enjoyed in its youth.

A great wine from Saint-Émilion combining power and elegance

The Estate

Château Quintus, located on a promontory of Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux, was acquired by Domaine Clarence Dillon in 2011. Formerly Château Tertre Daugay, the estate stretches over 16 hectares of varied terroirs, enriched by the acquisition of Château L'Arrosée in 2013. Château Quintus is the fifth acquisition of the Domaine Clarence Dillon group, joining the prestigious Châteaux Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. Its name is inspired by the Gallo-Roman tradition of naming the fifth child Quintus.

The Vineyard

The vineyard of Château Quintus benefits from an exceptional position on a limestone promontory of Saint-Émilion. This privileged location offers an ideal exposure and perfect natural drainage conditions for the vines.

The Vintage

The year 2024 was marked by a wet winter and spring, leading to strong pressure from downy mildew, perfectly controlled thanks to rigorous vineyard management. Cover cropping, parcel restructuring, and precise cultural practices preserved the vines’ sanitary condition. Homogeneous flowering and green harvesting led to a balanced ripeness of the grapes. A sunny week in mid-September refined the concentration and aromas.

Winemaking and aging

Aging is carried out in French oak barrels, 39 % of which are new oak.

Blend

77.2 % Merlot and 22.8 % Cabernet Franc.
