A precise Chateau Quintus 2016
The great summer drought of 2016 finally disappeared with the rainy season in mid-September. The rain helped the grapes through the finals step of maturation. Harvest in
Saint-Emilion occurred in October without any interruptions.
Chateau Quintus 2016 is a blend of 70%
Merlot and 30%
Cabernet Franc.
Chateau Quintus 2016 has a mature and powerful nose, that is not excessive. This Saint-Emilion is dominated by its
fruitiness. The attack is
delicate and
silky. The wine expands and develops with
finesse. After a wonderful 2015 vintage, 2016 is
fresh and
well-structured. 2016 has exceeded all exceptions, thanks to the
unique terroir.
