Jean-Philippe Delmas and the team at Clarence Dillon continue to make meaningful strides at Quintus, their estate in Saint-Émilion. Two years ago, Delmas told me that in 2014, ripeness was less even at Quintus than it was over at Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. Deleafing at the end of June and early July was essential, while removing unripe bunches during the protracted veraison was necessary to achieve as much homogeneity in the plants as possible. In tasting, the Quintus wines are more fruity and less structured than those of sister estates Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, but quality is clearly on the rise.

Jean-Philippe Delmas observed that ripeness was less even at Quintus, than it was over at Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. Deleafing at the end of June and early July was essential, while removing unripe bunches during the protracted veraison was necessary to achieve as much homogeneity in the plants as possible. Of the estates Delmas oversees, Quintus has the lowest vine density, so it is not surprising to hear that replantings are being done at 8,000 vines per hectare as opposed to the 5,500 that are the norm at Quintus today.
