Energy and depth define Chateau Quintus 2023, layering ripe blackberry, plum and black cherry with hints of cocoa, hazelnut, licorice and gentle smoke. The Merlot-driven core feels plush yet precisely framed by limestone-driven grip, giving a cool, chalky line and a long, savoury finish where dark fruit, cedar and spice linger with impressive clarity. A refined, modern St-Emilion that combines generosity with tension and should gain in complexity with patience.

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.
