Elaboration

Le Dragon de Quintus is the second wine of Château Quintus. The name originates from the dragon statue that towers above the magical terroir of Saint-Emilion, perched high upon the promontory, where the estate is located. It is an exceptional red wine made of a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc. The harvest was done by hand from the 14th to the 29th of September. The wine aged in oak barrels.

Taster´s notes

Deep, intense colour. The initial impression on the nose is relatively intense, before
unveiling fruity, rich, and complex aromas with aeration. Just the right amount of oak adds
to the aromatic appeal. Starts out smooth on the palate, with a remarkably caressing
sensation. The wine then quickly builds up power but not at the expense of balance. The
finish is very good, with just the right amount of substance, making the aftertaste
extremely pleasurable. We recommend pairing the wine with Boeuf Bourguignon.

The addition of these renowned terroirs gives the winemaking teams an even wider palette for creating their blends from the most stringent selection of grapes.
