Deep dark ruby garnet, firm core, violet reflexes, delicate brightening on the rim, light licorice, some cassis, blackberries and herbs, a hint of chocolate. Good complexity and freshness, fine tannins, well integrated, silky texture, salty minerality on the finish, lemony touch, very refreshing.
After vinification, the wine is aged 18 months in French oak barrels. (33% new barriques).
In June 2011, Domaine Clarence Dillon, owners of Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion, acquired a beautiful estate in Saint-Emilion, today renamed Château Quintus.
In October 2013, Château Quintus in turn acquired the neighbouring property, Château L’Arrosée, and these two exceptional estates are now united in order to produce one of the very finest wines of Saint-Emilion.
“By uniting these two exceptional estates we have improved our team’s ability to make one of the very finest wines of Saint-Emilion. This merger of equals will prove that the whole can be greater than the two parts. I am confident that this vineyard will soon come to rival its Domaine Clarence Dillon siblings as one of the finest wines of our region."
