Saint-Émilion estate Château Tertre Daugay was purchased by Domaine Clarence Dillon (of Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion) in 2011 and was reborn with a new name, Château Quintus. A superb expression of Saint-Emilion’s exceptional clay-limestone terroir and a perfect marriage of 55.4% Merlot and 44.6% Cabernet Franc. The bouquet is powerful, intense and complex, and bursting with notes of ripe, black fruit, particularly blackcurrant, with spicy, subtle overtones. Full on the palate with smooth, creamy fine-grained tannins, concluding on a long finish.
