Château Quintus
About Château Quintus
Formerly known as Château Tertre Daugay, Château Quintus took its new name in 2011, when it was acquired by Domaine Clarence Dillon, owner of the legendary Château Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. The name “Quintus” was chosen because it represented the fifth wine in the stable of Domaine Clarence Dillon. The estate sits atop a 62-meter high limestone hillock at the south western end of the Saint-Émilion plateau, prime vinous real estate that counts Château Angélus, Château Ausone and Château Pavie amongst immediate neighbours. Spanning approximately 28 hectares, the vineyards are planted to 66% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Since the acquisition, Domaine Clarence Dillon has doubled the acreage of Château Quintus and modernized its cellars, elevating Château Quintus to the status it rightfully deserves.

Wine Enthusiast (93)Dominated by Merlot, this is a richly perfumed, ripe and spicy wine. Soft tannins are balanced by plenty of acidity and blackberry fruit. It's full in structure, but still allows plenty of room for the fruit. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)The 2023 Le Dragon de Quintus is a succulent, fleshy second wine. Plush contours frame a core of dark cherry fruit, lavender, rose petal, chocolate and mocha. This builds nicely through the creamy mid-palate and into the long, resonant finish. Drink this racy Saint-Émilion over the next decade or so. |

James Suckling (97-98)Wow. This is very chalky and salty with lots of mineral character. It shows lots of purple fruit and firm tannins. Racy and bright. Chewy yet fine tannins. Gorgeous. Gets better and better. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (95)The 2023 Quintus is dark, fleshy and inviting. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, dried herbs and a kiss of French oak build as the 2023 gains volume with a bit of time in the glass. As is often the case, the Grand Vin is quite racy and extroverted in feel, and yet all the elements are impeccably put together. |
