Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
The open nose is beautifully intense, revealing aromas of black fruit au gratin, candied fruit, and hints of roasted wood and grilled pepper, adding richness and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is well-balanced, full-bodied and fleshy, with a fine structure.
Its straightforward, upright character extends the aromas on the nose, letting the spices and roasted notes shine through.
The finish, underpinned by supple tannins, is seductively persistent, prolonging the flavours with elegance.
A harmonious wine that combines power and finesse.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

CHÂTEAU D'ARCINS
Established by the Knights Templar in the 14th century, Château d'Arcins is now one of the oldest estates in Haut-Médoc. From the vineyard to the cellar, the estate has been completely renovated since it was bought by the Castel family in 1971.
Terroir : The 100-hectare estate is planted on gravel and sand, as well as limestone and clay. It benefits from exceptional climatic and geological conditions. The grape varieties are mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Viticulture : Great care is taken with the vineyard, with disbudding, leaf thinning and green harvesting. Planting density is high, at 9,000 vines per hectare. The vines are between 20 and 25 years old on average. Harvesting is mechanical. During harvesting and vinification, the grapes are carefully sorted.
