"Tiny touch of reduction on the opening moments of this wine, then slowly uncurls, lovely rose petals, elderflower, raspbery and redcurrant, with a kiss of grilled sandalwood. You can really track the evolution of Quintus at this point, as it takes on more of the character of its location up on the limestone plateau, and this is a good quality wine. 35hl/h yield, 39% new oak. Unlike many Right Bank, this is the final blend. Mariette Veyssière technical director, working alongside Jean-Pierre Masclef." (04/2025)

"Das Bouquet von Quintus offenbart seine Reifung durch Noten von frischem Holz, ergänzt durch Noten von roten und schwarzen Beeren. Die Reifung findet sich auch am Gaumen wieder. Sie geht einher mit einer feinen und bestens eingebundenen Tanninstruktur. Jung trinken!" (04/2025)

"The vineyard is less precocious here and so there were fewer problems of uneven florairon. This is gloriously floral. Saffron, lilac and lily of the valley. It’s gloriously radiant and vibrant too, with lots of vertical range. And it has a very refined and delicate shape and texture in the mouth. It’s lifted, light and aerial with a lovely natural sweetness and great fluidity. It exudes poise and harmony. There’s an impressive viscosity to this too. As that suggests, it’s deceptively powerful, the deception coming from the sheer quality of the tannins. Very eloquent and articulate and very respectful of the vintage, this is a wine that is not trying to be something it is not. And I love its sense of minerality." - Colin Hay (04/2025)
