Depth and finesse define Chateau Quintus 2015, layering ripe plum, blackberry and redcurrant fruit with hints of cigar box, dark chocolate and a subtle floral lift. The palate is supple yet focused, with polished tannins, lively freshness and a long, precise finish that shows both richness and elegance. A harmonious and seductive Saint-Émilion with plenty of class and aging potential.

Château Quintus is the grand vin of Domaine Clarence Dillon’s Saint-Émilion estate, a Merlot- and Cabernet Franc–based Bordeaux red grown on a high limestone promontory with a patchwork of slopes and microclimates that lend both richness and freshness. Crafted as a modern Right Bank “fifth child” in the Clarence Dillon family, it typically offers deep, ripe black-fruit character wrapped in supple tannins and an undercurrent of chalky, limestone-driven minerality that reflects its commanding terroir above the Dordogne valley.
