Introducing Le Dragon de Quintus: Château Quintus' Second Wine

Le Dragon de Quintus is the elegant second label from the prestigious Château Quintus estate, part of the legendary Domaine Clarence Dillon portfolio. The name pays homage to the dragon statue that overlooks the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru terroir, symbolising the protection of this priceless winemaking treasure. It is an exemplary Right Bank Bordeaux, offering a classic profile with approachability.

Sommelier's Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Rich, deep ruby-garnet.
• Aroma: A refined bouquet of dark forest fruits (blackcurrant, damson plum) layered with nuanced spice, subtle vanilla, and earthy truffle notes, reflecting its Merlot-dominant blend and limestone origins.
• Taste: Exhibits superb balance. The initial fruit generosity is balanced by a firm, yet silky tannic structure. It possesses a full body and a long, savoury finish that truly speaks of its Grand Cru status.

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

An ideal choice for a sophisticated dinner party, this wine is ready to drink but will gain complexity with further time in the cellar. Serve between 15°C and 17°C.

• Pairings: Rib-Eye Steak with Pan Potatoes, Roast Venison, Beef Wellington.
• Drink Window: Accessible now; best from 2027 to 2035 (depending on vintage).
