In a few words ...
This wine naturally takes its place alongside the great wines of Domaine Clarence Dillon, Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion reds and whites, to become the 5th in this illustrious family. The Quintus vineyard extends over gravelly slopes: 15 hectares planted with equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with a superb view over the Dordogne valley. J. Suckling: 94-95/100
This Saint-Emilion Grand Cru of rare elegance has great ageing potential!
