Renamed Chateau Quintus (Latin for Fifth) representing the fifth "child" in the Domaine Clarence Dillon family alongside Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc, Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion and Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc Dillon. Chateau Quintus is being nurtured with the utmost care and investment to produce wines that are rich, opulent and full of black fruit, with impact and definition. It will be fascinating for us all to watch them mature in bottle and see how they develop. Learning curves are rarely as pleasant! Serena Sutcliffe, MW.
