Among the Gallo-Romans, founders of the Saint-Émilion vineyard, “Quintus” meant “the fifth.” Quintus is the place of five directions: four cardinal points to embrace the earth, and a fifth to question the sky. There, the omen is revealed, in the balance between the human horizon and the voice of nature.

Perched high on a limestone promontory, culminating at an altitude of 62 metres, Quintus offers a splendid 360-degree view across the Dordogne valley. Its plateau, with north, west and south-facing positions, overlooks an incredible abundance of micro-climates and limestone terroirs conducive to the finest expressions of the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. In 2021, Château Quintus became one of Saint-Emilion’s largest properties, now stretching across 45 hectares (111 acres), including 42 hectares (104 acres) of vineyards. The addition of these renowned terroirs gives the winemaking teams an even wider palette for creating their blends from the most stringent selection of grapes.

Receiving the same care given to Château Quintus and Le Dragon de Quintus, the Saint-Emilion de Quintus was launched in 2014. Plots situated on the low ground of the plains of the Dordogne contribute mainly to the production of this wine. Beautiful dark garnet-red colour. The initial impression on the nose is intense, hints of red fruits with the freshness of just picked berries. The oak is discreet and qualitative. Starts out softly on the palate, pleasant. Then, the wine evolves on a rather tender body. The tannin finally appears, coated and medium-long. This Saint-Emilion de Quintus leaves an impression of balance and immediate pleasure.

Blend:  Merlot 86.7%, Cabernet Franc 13.3%
