昆图斯酒庄

昆图斯酒庄是克兰斯帝龙酒业名酒家族中诞生的第五座酒庄。它的名字是在向最早在圣埃美隆栽种葡萄的罗马高卢人致敬,他们习惯给自己的第五个孩子取名为“昆图斯”。

Tasting notes

The nose displays hints of raspberry, pepper, and spice.
The wine is very smooth and round
on the palate with ripe, full and rich tannins.
The freshness enhances the brilliant fruit,
which goes into an elegant, expressive aftertaste

The climate

2014 was marked by an extraordinary Indian summer that saved the vintage. Fine spring weather was conducive to a good start to the growing season. However, challenging summer conditions seriously slowed down ripening. Fortunately, the month of September was absolutely beautiful, with dry, extremely sunny weather accompanied by highs of close to 30°C. This superb weather, with cool night-time temperatures, enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully, and they were able to be brought into the vat house having reached a perfect level of ripeness.
