Fair Value
Prices for Quintus most closely correlate to Wine Advocate scores.
The 2020 vintage carries the highest ever Wine Advocate score since the winery’s acquisition by Domaine Clarence Dillon.
The 2019 vintage was previously the château’s highest scored vintage and looks good value compared against other wines in the 90+ point range, alongside the 2015 vintage.
