Château Quintus is the relatively new Saint-Émilion project of the Clarence Dillon family, employing the same winemaking team as at Châteaux Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. Le Dragon is the second wine of the estate and, in 2015, is composed of 76% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. From a superb Merlot vintage, this is a medium- to full-bodied, crisply defined, fresh and eminently enjoyable wine crafted in a more early-drinking style.
