Château QuintusSaint-Emilion de Quintus 2021

About this wine

Saint-Emilion de Quintus is exactly the kind of wine that reminds you why Bordeaux's right bank has such a devoted following. This 2021 vintage captures the elegance and balance that make Saint-Emilion one of the world's greatest terroirs.

You'll find a beautiful interplay between the Merlot's soft, plummy core and the Cabernet franc's subtle spice and structure. There's a freshness here that speaks to the vintage's character, with notes of red berries, a hint of graphite, and a gentle earthiness that keeps everything grounded. The 14% alcohol sits perfectly, letting the wine breathe without any heaviness.

Serve this at around 16 to 17 degrees with a good thirty minutes of breathing time. It pairs wonderfully with duck confit, lamb dishes, or even a refined beef stew. If you're looking for something a bit simpler, it works beautifully with aged cheeses and charcuterie. This is a wine that'll age gracefully in your cellar for the next ten to fifteen years, but honestly, it's drinking rather nicely right now.
