Le Dragon De Quintus 2nd Vin Château Quintus Saint-Emilion, 2021

Le Dragon de Quintus is the second wine of Château Quintus, offering a polished Saint-Émilion expression with real pedigree at a more approachable level. From the limestone-rich slopes of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, it captures the elegance, structure, and depth that make this estate one of the region’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 vintage typically shows a deep ruby hue with bright purple reflections, hinting at freshness and energy. The bouquet leans toward ripe black cherry, plum, violets, cedar, and subtle spice, with a gentle earthy edge that reflects its Saint-Émilion origins. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, framed by fine tannins and a lively, balanced acidity that gives the wine definition and lift. Expect layers of dark fruit, graphite, and hints of tobacco or cocoa, finishing with poise and a refined mineral touch. While already approachable in its youth, it should continue to gain complexity over the next several years.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion, the wine benefits from Bordeaux’s Right Bank terroir, where clay and limestone soils help preserve freshness while supporting structure and concentration. The estate is known for careful vineyard selection and parcel-by-parcel harvesting, ensuring only well-ripened fruit is used for the second wine. Vinification is carried out with the same precision as the grand vin, typically using temperature-controlled fermentation and maturation in oak barrels to build texture and finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, lamb chops, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Manchego. Serve it at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young, to allow the aromatics and texture to खुलs fully.

Producer
Château Quintus is a standout estate in Saint-Émilion, formed from the merger of two historic properties and now part of the Clarence Dillon family portfolio, which also includes Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion. The château has quickly established itself as one of the appellation’s most prestigious names, known for meticulous viticulture, expressive wines, and a strong commitment to quality.
