Le Dragon De Quintus 2nd Vin Château Quintus Saint-Emilion, 2022

Le Dragon de Quintus is the second wine of Château Quintus, offering a polished Saint-Émilion expression with the hallmarks of this prestigious Right Bank estate. Crafted in the acclaimed 2022 vintage, it delivers elegance, structure, and early-drinking charm while reflecting the finesse associated with one of Bordeaux’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour with good concentration in the glass. Aromatically, it typically shows ripe black cherry, plum, graphite, floral lift, and a subtle touch of spice and cedar. On the palate, the wine is usually smooth and well-balanced, with layered dark fruit, fine tannins, and a fresh, mineral-driven finish. The 2022 vintage suggests generous fruit richness alongside impressive structure, giving it both immediate appeal and the potential to develop gracefully over the next several years.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Le Dragon de Quintus benefits from the estate’s varied terroir, which includes clay and limestone soils that help retain freshness and complexity in the fruit. Grapes are typically harvested with care, often parcel by parcel, to preserve precision and ripeness. Vinification is carried out with an emphasis on purity, balance, and the expression of the estate’s character, followed by ageing in oak to add texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at around 16-18°C for the best expression, and decant for 30-60 minutes if enjoying it young to allow the aromatics to open up.
