  Vineyard notes: "Quintus wines, based on fruit, are the expression of Saint-Emilion’s exceptional clay-limestone terroir. Finesse, elegance and minerality characterize them. The topography of the property, with its various orientations, facing south, west and north, enables us to produce balanced wines from one vintage to the next."

Winemaking: A stringent selection within plots is made when the harvest is picked by hand. Only absolutely perfect grapes will reach their final destination: the vats. Winemaking is done in wooden and in stainless steel vats, with gentle extraction carried out by pumping over.

Read more
Ageing: Once the blending is finished, the wine is placed in barrels. Maturation in French oak will enable the wine to develop and become clearer. The wine’s tannins will be smoothed patiently over a period of twelve to eighteen months.
