Merlot 55.4% & Cabernet Franc 44.6%
Château Quintus is the 5th child within the Domaine Clarence Dillon family of wines. Its name is a tribute to the Gallo-Romans, creators of Saint-Emilion’s vineyards, who had the custom of naming their fifth child Quintus.
This Quintus is a deep red colour with crimson highlights.
The bouquet is powerful, intense and complex, and bursting with notes of ripe, black fruit, particularly blackcurrant. Spicy, subtle overtones are already perceptible.
Starts out broad-based and fleshy, with a remarkably caressing sensation, becoming full-bodied, with smooth, creamy fine-grained tannins mid-palate.
The finish is long, without any hardness whatsoever. A perfect marriage between Merlot and Cabernet Franc, whereby the qualities of each grape variety are expressed to the full. This 2019 Quintus is clearly a tremendous success.

Château Quintus
През 2011 г. Domaine Clarence Dillon закупува превъзходен имот в Сент Емилион, който сега е преименуван на Château Quintus - винарско имение от 45 хектара, което произвежда едно от най-добрите вина на Сент Емилион. Разположен високо на варовиков нос, достигащ височина от 62 метра, Quintus предлага прекрасна 360-градусова гледка към долината на Дордона. От платото му със северно, западно и южно изложение се открива невероятно изобилие от микроклиматични и варовикови тероари, благоприятстващи най-добрите проявления на сортовете Мерло и Каберне Фран. През 2021 г. Château Quintus се превръща в един от най-големите имоти в Сен Емилион, който сега се простира на 45 хектара. Трите имота, обединени в Château Quintus, са сред най-старите и реномирани райони на Сент Емилион. И трите вина са споменати в миналото като Premier Cru de Saint-Emilion, във винения справочник на Féret, публикуван между 1908 и 1949 г. "През 2011 г. моето семейство, екипът ни и аз изразихме амбициозните си цели, като изразихме желанието си да създадем едно от най-добрите възможни вина в Сент Емилион. Събирайки някои от най-обещаващите парцели и тероари, ние се опитахме да създадем нова звезда на десния бряг – това е Quintus. След повече от 10 реколти с гордост мога да кажа, че нашият изключителен екип се справя отлично с това предизвикателство. ", споделя негово превъзходителство Робер дьо Люксембург.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France. It stretches 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast. In 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that remains largely constant over the previous decade. The main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and they are used to make different wines, each producer having its own blend and proportions of mixing the varieties. Here are produced some of the most famous, most expensive and long-lasting wines in the world - the well-known subregions Medoc, Graves, St. Emilion, Pomerol and many others. Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River on the left and right banks. Characteristic of the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is the more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of wine, while on the right bank (St. Emillion, Pomerol) merlot predominates. In addition to red wines, Bordeaux is famous for the production of white, mainly a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with the Sauternes subregion and the leading Chateau d’Yquem, famous for its complex and multi-layered, aromatic and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Merlot
Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
