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.

Tasting
Attractive dark red colour, intense, with some carmine reflections. Pleasant nose, a little shy at first, but after shaking it reveals tasty notes of black fruits (blueberry, blackberry but also elderberry), associated with a very discreet woodiness. The attack is supple and fruity. On the palate, it is a wine with good fullness, volume and a pleasant freshness. Nice length. The notes of black fruit, very ripe (blueberry, blackberry) are also present with a spicy touch on the finish. The tannins are well blended. This Château de Quantin 2019 is very pleasant to drink, especially with grilled meats, pork fillets with chanterelles, but also cheeses.
