The Story
Le Dragon de Quintus is the elegant second wine of Château Quintus, revealing aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle baking spice. Richly textured yet beautifully approachable, it delivers polished tannins, vibrant freshness, refined structure, and a long, graceful finish with classic Saint-Émilion character.
Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom risotto, braised short ribs, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, or roasted root vegetables.
93 Points - James Suckling
Aromas of blueberries and sandalwood with hints of bark. Medium body, with fine tannins and salty clove undertones. Bright and vivid with a crunchy finish. 82.7% merlot, 14.5% cabernet franc and 2.8% malbec. Better in two or three years but already fresh and energetic.
