List of products by brand CHÂTEAU QUINTUS
Perched on a limestone promontory culminating at 62 meters above sea level, Château Quintus offers a majestic 360° view of the Dordogne valley. Its north, west and south-facing plateau overlooks an incredible wealth of microclimates and clay-limestone soils conducive to the finest expressions of the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties.
In 2011, Domaine Clarence Dillon acquired a superb property in Saint-Emilion, now renamed Château Quintus. In 2013, Château Quintus acquired another neighboring property, as well as a third in 2021. These three exceptional properties now form a 45-hectare vineyard producing one of the best wines of Saint-Emilion.
The Gallo-Romans, creators of the Saint-Emilion vineyard, used to name their 5th child Quintus (fifth). Domaine Clarence Dillon has therefore decided to pay tribute to its glorious predecessors by renaming the Château Quintus cru.
The number 5 (V) characterizes this property with its hillsides and plots which are oriented towards the four cardinal points, and which slope towards the sky towards which the winegrowers turn daily to know its omen.
In 2021, Château Quintus becomes one of the largest properties in Saint-Emilion, now extending over 45 hectares, including 42 of vines. The addition of these illustrious terroirs offers winemaking teams an even richer palette to create their blends from a selection of the most demanding grapes.
The three properties brought together to create Château Quintus are among the oldest and most recognized crus of Saint-Emilion. The three were historically cited in the Guide Féret, published between 1908 and 1949 as “Premier Cru de Saint-Emilion”.
