Château Quintus

Producer description of "Château Quintus"

The winery is located in Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). It was founded in the mid-18th century under the name Château Tertre-Daugay. The name is derived from the location on a hill (Tertre = hill). Pierre-Philippe Alezais is named as the first owner, whose descendant Philippe Alezais expanded the estate. It was awarded a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867. At the end of the 19th century, the estate was sold to the banker Eugène Robin. Other owners were Léon Galhaud and Count Leo de Malet Roquefort. The neglected estate was reactivated in 1978. The wines had to be vinified at Château La Gaffelière until 1984. In 2011, the estate was acquired by Domaine Clarence Dillon and renamed "Château Quintus". In 2012, it was classified as a Grand Cru Classé under its old name. The vineyards cover 15 hectares with the Merlot (51%) and Cabernet Franc (49%) varieties. The red wine matures in 50% new barriques. The second wine is called "Le Dragon de Quintus" (formerly "Château de Roquefort").
