The 2013 crop and vintage will be overseen by the Domaine Clarence Dillon and Chateau Quintus team. Chateau Quintus now comprises 28 hectares of vines. The larger entity will benefit from the knowledge already acquired at Chateau Quintus and be subject to the same attention to detail and draconian selection which have already yielded their fruit over the past two vintages.

DOMAINE CLARENCE DILLON

Created in 1935, the family-owned and managed company, Domaine Clarence Dillon, has the unique privilege of producing five rare and exceptional estate wines: two red wines and two white wines from First Growth, Château Haut-Brion and its sibling Château La Mission Haut-Brion. Since the 2011 vintage, the company is also proud to represent one of the finest wines from Saint Émilion: Château Quintus.

In 2005, the Company created the Bordeaux Fine Wine Merchant, Clarence Dillon Wines, and launched Clarendelle, "Inspired by Haut-Brion", Bordeaux's first super premium luxury brand wine, thus testifying to the far-sighted spirit that has characterized Domaine Clarence Dillon from the onset.

As wardens of three mythical Estates, steeped in close to two millennia of history, the family company strives to have this deep heritage reflected in all of the wines produced under its name. Domaine Clarence Dillon combines tradition with innovation in order to extract the quintessence of an exceptional terroir and produce comprehensive families of authentic wines that are defined by their complexity and elegance.
