critic reviews

90-92/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Opens with cedary overtones before giving way to notes of kirsch, black raspberries, and red plums, plus suggestions of bay leaves and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate delivers chewy-textured, oak-laced flavors with a lively line and spicy finish.

93-95/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2024 Quintus is gracious, elegant and polished. Spice, tobacco, cedar and an exotic touch of blood orange give the 2024 lovely aromatic presence to match its mid-weight personality. There is a touch of new oak, but that should not be an issue with élevage. Here, too, the balance is very fine.

92/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

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.

89-91/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Representing only 21% of the estate's production, the 2024 Quintus is a blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. Exhibiting notes of dark berries and toasty oak, it's medium-bodied, with more density, depth and tannin than its junior siblings, but it has a similarly bracing spine of acidity.
