Quintus Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion, 2021

Quintus Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion 2021 is a refined Bordeaux blend from one of the most respected names on the Right Bank. With its Grand Cru Classé pedigree and the elegance associated with Saint-Émilion, it offers a polished, contemporary expression of the appellation’s classic depth and structure.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby core with a vibrant rim, hinting at both concentration and freshness. Aromas lean toward ripe blackcurrant, plum, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, with a touch of graphite and fine oak in the background. On the palate, it is expected to be medium to full-bodied, with ripe dark fruit, firm but polished tannins, and a balanced line of acidity that keeps the wine lively and precise. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux is generally known for delivering freshness and elegance over sheer power, and Quintus should reflect that style well. While approachable in youth with decanting, it also has the structure to develop gracefully over several years, gaining complexity and softer tannins with bottle age.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Quintus benefits from a terroir shaped by limestone and clay soils that help preserve freshness and support structure in the wine. The vineyard’s elevated and well-exposed setting contributes to balanced ripening, while careful harvesting is typically done parcel by parcel to capture the best expression of each plot. Vinification focuses on precision and freshness, with separate fermentation lots and controlled extraction to preserve fruit purity, tannin finesse, and a sense of place.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. It also works well with aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young to allow the aromatics and tannins to open up.
