Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The success of a vintage depends on its holistic nature. While it’s not uncommon to achieve sublime merlots, which is the case for the 2019 vintage, the cabernet franc also hit a high note. In 2019, our magnificent cabernet franc is on par with the merlot and represents nearly 45% of the final blend. 2019 marks the ninth vintage of Château Quintus, and it is undoubtedly one of the best to date. Don’t miss out on the Château Quintus 2019.

Blend: 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc

The Barrel Sample for this wine is above 14% ABV.

Professional Ratings

96 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Château Quintus is brilliant and does everything right in the vintage. Loaded with ripe red and black cherry fruits as well as notes of white truffle, leafy herbs, baking spices, and tobacco, it hits the palate with a stunningly balanced, full-bodied profile delivering gorgeous tannins, the purity and freshness of the vintage, and a great finish. Coming from the Dillon team, this is Saint-Emilion brilliance that's already approachable yet will cruise for another 20-25 years. Bravo. Best After 2022
95 James Suckling
This is very spicy, with tile and terra cotta to the dark-fruit aromas. Pine and cedar, too. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a creamy finish. Very fine and long. Need three or four years to come together. 55% merlot and 45% cabernet.
95 Decanter
One of highest levels of Cabernet Franc since Haut-Brion arrived at the estate, and it makes its mark in all the right places. A gorgeous sculpted feel, with grip and personality, charcoal slate character, minerality and sappy fruit. White pepper spice, austerity and grip, very much a sign of how good this grape can be in St Emilion.

This is a luscious wine with great black fruits and silky tannins. A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, it offers succulent acidity and bright perfumes. The wine is sure to age well.

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Quintus exhibits aromas of rich, plummy fruit mingled with exotic spices and smoky, toasty new oak. Full-bodied, broad and textural, it's rich and fleshy, with a ripe core of fruit, lively acids and powdery structuring tannins. Cabernet Franc represents nearly 45% of the blend this year. Best After 2025

This has good flesh and focus, with a wave of warmed cherry compote and cassis backed by a red licorice note. Shows a subtle mineral edge that adds a hint of tension to the finish, with a gently mouthwatering echo, too. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now.
