Quintus 2018 is a Saint-Émilion blend from a high-altitude limestone plateau on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. The chalky subsoil gives the wine its characteristic structural firmness, which provides a vivid counterpoint to the velvet-like ripeness of the Merlot. Dark cherry and liquorice notes define the aromatic profile, while the polished tannins suggest a long, prosperous future in the cellar. It remains a focused, graceful and highly sophisticated expression of this limestone-dominant terroir, demonstrating the estate`s commitment to precision.

Vinous
The 2018 Quintus has gained more exuberance and intensity on the nose since its showing in barrel, offering flamboyant black fruit, blueberry, crushed violet petals and potpourri, all very well defined. A light menthol scent emerges with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp black fruit, tobacco and light cedar aromas. Like the Second Wine, this has emerged with a Left Bank–inspired personality, lightly spiced on the precise, quite minerally finish. Excellent.
