Quintus - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2021

Château Quintus, the new star of the right bank

In 2011, Domaine Clarence Dillon purchased a superb property in Saint-Émilion, now renamed Château Quintus. In 2013, Château Quintus made the acquisition of another neighbouring property, as well as a third one in 2021. These three exceptional properties now form a wine estate of 45 hectares producing one of Saint-Émilion’s finest wines. The Gallo-Romans, creators of the vineyards of Saint-Emilion, had the custom of naming their 5th child Quintus (fifth). So, Domaine Clarence Dillon has decided to pay homage to its glorious predecessors by renaming this growth Château Quintus.

Perched on a limestone promontory, culminating at an altitude of 62 metres, Quintus offers up a breath-taking 360-degree view across the Dordogne valley. Its topography, boasting a plateau and featuring north, west and south facing slopes, comprises an incredible abundance of micro-climates and limestone soils, especially well suited for extricating the finest qualities of the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varietals.

The environmental specificity of Château Quintus lies in its Mediterranean Green Belt, a true haven of biodiversity. The sublime natural gardens and terraces of Quintus, representing two hectares, are enchanting from the very the first glance. These boast numerous hedgerows, majestic holm oaks, low stone walls and verdant escarpments. These treasures of the landscape heritage that surround the plots of vines are important shelters for natural allies, vital to the success of the vineyard.

The 2021 vintage

2021 highlighted even more the strength of Quintus’s terroir, with a rainy month of June during which the limestone promontory enabled the vine to be protected from weather risks and fungal diseases, thanks to its topography and natural drainage of the soils.
After a relatively cool month of July, when the grapes developed slowly, the month of September marked a distinct speed-up in ripening, with warm, sunny days that were really beneficial for maturity.

The expansion of the property, progressing to 45 hectares, of which 42 hectares under vine, made its mark upon these harvests, because this enlargement gives the winemaking teams an even richer palette for creating their blends. The potential of these new plots was confirmed from the 2021 vintage. A large proportion of theses plots was included in the Grand Vin's final blend.

Tasting Note

A superb ruby-red colour with purple glints. The first nose is concentrated, ripe and slightly discreet. Swirling reveals lovely complexity and confirms the ripeness of the fruit, with scents of violet.
On the first taste, it is wide and flavoursome with pulp. Then the wine develops flawlessly, thanks to developed, tightly-knit tannins. This Quintus leaves a splendid sensation of fruity lightness and controlled concentration, without any harshness. Excellent persistency.

The 2021 Quintus has a tightly packed and quite backward bouquet, mainly black fruit with a light iris flower element, followed later by a touch of leather. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant, sapid entry. There is not great depth here, but there

A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Quintus delivers a vibrant bouquet with aromas of dark berries, plums, cassis and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate that's layered and lively, built around powdery tannins and concluding with a saline, sapid finish. Given the characteristics of the vintage, this wine stands out as a remarkable achievement, rivaling some more heralded years at this address.

Extremely focused and refined, with firm tannins that run the length of the wine. Medium-bodied with lovely length and juiciness. Blackberry and earth with mushroom and bark. Hints of orange peel, too. 68.2% merlot, 31.3% cabernet franc and 0.5% malbec.

45 % de l’assemblage parcellaire provient du secteur nord de Grand-Pontet, vignoble acheté en septembre 2022. La fraîcheur de la matière énergie et soyeux subtil, vin parfaitement étiré sur sa finale, dotée d’un retour floral et salin. Cœur de bouche fourni. À suivre de près.

On the nose of Quintus, you can see that the plum blossoms are blooming. Although the fruit aromas are not pronounced, the expression is clear and natural. Through the 2021 vintage, you can feel the sincerity of the whole winemaking team, who clearly have presented the lightness, high acidity, and slender body lines to our taste buds. In addition to the clear chalky texture from the limestone soil on the finish, the soft extraction is also a key to its success. ?Quintus???,???????????????????,????????????2021??,?????????????,?????????????????????????????????????????????????????,????????????????

Deeply colored, the wine is packed with nuances of crushed rocks, black raspberries, flowers, plums and forest leaves. Extremely poised and polished, the silky palate offers purity in the fruit, length and the sense of minerality, finishing with an array of red pit fruits, cocoa and salty tannins. This is the first vintage to include from the recently purchased vineyards formerly belonging to Grand Pontet. The wine blends 58% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec. 13.3% ABV. Drink from 2023-2040. 92-94

The 2021 Quintus is the most elegant wine I have ever tasted here, by a wide measure. Nearly half of this fruit is from the former Grand Pontet property, and that fruit seems to bring a measure of aromatic intensity and freshness these wines have lacked in some vintages. All the elements are so well balanced. Bright saline notes linger on the finish. This is impressive for the year.

Cerise, mure, cassis, des notes de fleurs de printemps, de réglisse et de graphite. Juteux, frais, très belle acidité calcaire avec une allonge et une tension remarquables, des tanins frais et droits et une belle densité de bouche. Un très beau Quintus dans un style satiné, minéral et très proche de son terroir calcaire. Bravo !

The 2021 Quintus shows considerable promise, displaying more concentration and character than the 2017, combined with appreciably lower alcohol than intervening vintages. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, loamy soil, raw cocoa and a deft framing of new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with good concentration and a seamless, complete profile. It's a blend of around 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc from the limestone slopes.

Fragrant, perfumed strawberries and red cherries on the nose, they have a sweet note to them, so welcoming, really bursting out of the glass. Smooth but also quite sharp on the palate with a rush of red fruits - cherries, raspberries, redcurrants and plums fill the palate - with mouthwatering acidity balanced by touches of wet stone minerality, iodine, graphite and pencil. You definitely get the feeling of the terroir here in the chalky saltiness, as well as the stalky, bramble, spiced Cabernet Franc giving backbone and direction. Quite a bit of smoked cedar spice comes in on the end, just overshadowing the brightness and overall sense of fun to this. Well worked with promise.
