2015 Chateau Quintus - St. Emilion (750ml)

Château Quintus was created in 2011 when Domaine Clarence Dillon (owners of Château Haut-Brion) acquired and merged the historic Tertre Daugay and L'Arrosée estates, applying the same meticulous, precision-driven winemaking philosophy that's defined Haut-Brion for generations. Sitting on the limestone plateau above the Dordogne with a mix of clay and gravel soils, the property produces a Merlot-dominant blend with Cabernet Franc. 2015 was an outstanding Right Bank vintage, and this wine shows real depth: ripe dark fruit, cassis, and graphite on the nose, with a full-bodied, richly structured palate, polished tannins, and a long, precise finish. Serious, ambitious Saint-Émilion from one of Bordeaux's most prestigious ownership groups, drinking beautifully now with further aging potential.
