Lifted red and black fruits define the 2023 Le Dragon de Quintus, with cassis, mulberry and plum threaded by cedar, dried tobacco leaf and a touch of floral spice. Medium-bodied and finely shaped, it glides across the palate with supple, polished tannins, lively acidity and a sapid, saline edge that keeps the long finish bright and juicy. This is a more precise, energetic expression of Dragon, emphasizing freshness and elegance over sheer power in 2023.
Herb-crusted lamb chops; Roast duck with cherry glaze; Wild mushroom and truffle risotto

Le Dragon de Quintus is the approachable second wine of Château Quintus (Saint‑Émilion), named after the dragon statue that stands over the estate’s hillside promontory; it is typically Merlot‑dominated with Cabernet Franc in the blend. Bright, fruit‑forward and finely oaked, it shows ripe red and black fruit, floral spice and silky, gently structured tannins—crafted as a more immediate, pleasurable counterpoint to the château’s grand vin.
