Château Quintus
High above Saint‑Émilion, a limestone promontory catches every breeze; on this natural belvedere Château Quintus in St.Emilion was shaped into a single estate in 2011. Built by Domaine Clarence Dillon and expanded again in 2013 and 2021, the vineyard now forms a 360‑degree mosaic of plateau, slopes and changing exposures.
Clay‑limestone and cool subsoils give Merlot and Cabernet Franc a firm, mineral line. Hand harvesting, parcel selection and meticulous vinification focus on precision of tannin and length, while a measured élevage in French oak preserves the chalk signature rather than masking it.
Quintus—its name echoing Roman counting—feels like a modern classic: biodiversity in the vines, quiet discipline in the cellar, and a Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru that speaks with clarity instead of volume.Château Quintus
