Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Chateau Quintus 2022 - Saint Emilon

More questions

Chateau Quintus 2022 di Saint Emilon is a red wine that shows an elegant, measured profile typical of regional production. In the glass it displays a lively ruby colour; on the nose there are ripe red fruits, light spicy notes and a subtle earthy background. On the palate it combines balanced structure with noticeable but not aggressive tannins, supported by freshness that keeps the wine smooth and enjoyable.

It pairs well with grilled red meat, braised dishes and mushroom-based recipes, as well as with not-too-strong aged cheeses. Before serving, it is advisable to open the bottle some time in advance or give it a short decanting to soften the aromatic profile; serving temperature around 16–18 °C. A wide glass enhances the aromas and helps the wine's complexity to express itself. It can be enjoyed now for its drinkability or left to rest a few years for further bottle development.

The story
La viticoltura nell'area risale all'epoca romana e si è sviluppata intensamente nel medioevo grazie alla posizione sulla via di pellegrinaggio verso Santiago de Compostela; la giurisdizione e le tradizioni locali, come la Jurade, hanno contribuito a costruire la fama dei vini di Saint-Émilion.

Production philosophy
Valorizzare il legame tra territorio, pratiche tradizionali e qualità enologica: l'identità di Saint-Émilion si fonda sulla ricerca dell'espressione del terroir nei vini rossi e sul mantenimento di standard qualitativi attraverso un sistema di classificazione locale.
Terroir and vineyards
Situata nella Gironda, nella regione Nouvelle-Aquitaine, a est di Bordeaux (Right Bank), l'area combina suoli argillo-calcarei e collinari che favoriscono la coltivazione di Merlot e Cabernet Franc e una forte frammentazione dei cru.
