Presentation
Vines have been grown on Château de Quantin's gravelly rises since the 17th century. These produce delicious, fruity, dry white wines with great aromatic expression. This fresh, crisp Pessac-Léognan can also be enjoyed young.
The vintage
The weather in 2024 was extreme, with heavy rainfall, lack of sunshine and cool temperatures, making the fight against vine diseases particularly difficult. After a somewhat difficult flowering period with some coulure, a more favourable period in August allowed the grapes to change colour evenly, followed by a rapid harvest in September to preserve the quality of the grapes. This vintage marks a return to normal harvest dates.

Tasting
Pale yellow, bright and clear.
The nose is clean and expressive, with aromas of ripe yellow fruit (peach, mirabelle plum) and white fruit, enhanced by fine toasty notes reflecting the mastery of barrel ageing.
The palate is full and generous. The body is full and enveloping, with a fat, silky texture. Well-integrated acidity adds tension and prolongs the fresh, persistent finish.
A delicious, well-balanced white wine that combines rich aromas, elegance and length.
