2018
Saint-Emilion
de Quintus
Tasting notes
Dark red colour. The nose is fresh, fruity and understated
promising a real treat for the taste buds. Starts out very pleasant on the palate,
with no hardness whatsoever, becoming smooth
and delicious with a medium-long finish.
Overall, a particularly delicious Saint-Émilion.
The weather
The spring of 2018 was marked by frequent stormy weather. The growing season started very well, although was later slowed down as a result of a violent hailstorm on the 26th of May. The vines nevertheless recovered fairly quickly. The month of June was relatively warm, conducive to even flowering. A hot summer followed, with little rainfall. Véraison (colour change) took place under ideal conditions. A high-pressure system set in during the month of September. The grapes were picked under clear blue skies at peak ripeness and in excellent condition.
