Château Quintus is acquiring Château Grand-Pontet, a Grand Cru Classé, located in an exceptional position just a few meters from the village of Saint-Emilion and only 1 km to the north of its existing parcels. This property is surrounded by three prestigious Premiers Grands Crus Classés: Châteaux Canon, Clos Fourtet and Beauséjour Bécot, on the Western plateau of Saint-Emilion.
With the addition of these parcels, Quintus also becomes one of Saint-Emilion’s largest properties, representing 45 hectares (111 acres), 42 (104 acres) of which are planted in vines.
At the same time, Domaine Clarence Dillion named Mariette Veyssière as Manager of Quintus.
Domain Clarence Dillion was founded on June 1, 1935, and named after its owner, the American financier Clarence Dillon,[1] who bought Château Haut-Brion in 1935. It’s current president is Prince Robert of Luxembourg, great-grandson of Clarence Dillon.
