Producer Information

Château L’Arrosée is a former Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé estate, purchased by Domaines Clarence Dillon (of Château Haut-Brion fame) as part of the takeover of Château Tertre Daugay in 2011, and renamed Château Quintus – it is the fifth property in the Dillon portfolio. The L’Arrosée estate, located on the southern edge of Saint-Émilion, produced a traditional Right Bank Bordeaux blend labeled Château L’Arrosée until 2012. It first belonged to a minister of Napoleon III, Pierre Magne, in the mid 1800s and passed ownership multiple times until its purchase in 2013 by Domaine Clarence Dillon, owners of Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion. The estate was united with a neighboring Grand Cru Classé estate – previously Château Tertre Daugay – that Domaine Clarence Dillon acquired in 2011 and renamed Château Quintus. The château’s vineyard faces south and spans close to 10 hectares (24 acres). The site is composed of limestone and clay soils and is planted to 60 percent Merlot, 20 percent Cabernet Franc, and 20 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with vines averaging 35 years old.
