AOC Pessac-Léognan
The vines at Quantin grow on deep gravel to produce a red wine with very ripe, smoky aromas. This is very elegant on the palate with solid, well-extracted tannin and an attractive personality in all vintages.

Dégustation
2017 Château de Quantin is a brilliant, classy cherry-red colour.
The bouquet is particularly pleasant, displaying wonderful fruity aromas underscored by subtle empyreumatic overtones.
This wine is reminiscent of the finest Pessac-Léognan terroirs. It is particularly well-balanced and elegant on the palate while the delicate, well-integrated tannin means that it is a joy to drink, even when young.
