2019 Chateau Quintus 'Le Dragon de Quintus' Saint-Emilion Grand Cru France

Winemaker Notes
The success of a vintage depends on its holistic nature. While it’s not uncommon to achieve sublime merlots, which is the case for the 2019 vintage, the cabernet franc also hit a high note. In 2019, our magnificent cabernet franc is on par with the merlot and represents nearly 45% of the final blend. 2019 marks the ninth vintage of Château Quintus, and it is undoubtedly one of the best to date. Don’t miss out on the Château Quintus 2019.

Blend: 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc

The Barrel Sample for this wine is above 14% ABV.

The 2019 Château Quintus is brilliant and does everything right in the vintage. Loaded with ripe red and black cherry fruits as well as notes of white truffle, leafy herbs, baking spices, and tobacco, it hits the palate with a stunningly balanced, full-bodied profile delivering gorgeous tannins, the purity and freshness of the vintage, and a great finish. Coming from the Dillon team, this is Saint-Emilion brilliance that's already approachable yet will cruise for another 20-25 years. Bravo. Best After 2022

This is very spicy, with tile and terra cotta to the dark-fruit aromas. Pine and cedar, too. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a creamy finish. Very fine and long. Need three or four years to come together. 55% merlot and 45% cabernet.
