Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
The nose is frank and expressive, dominated by spices and roasted black fruit.
Intense notes of cocoa and truffle mingle with accents of roasted wood and grilled pepper.
Full-bodied and fleshy on the palate, with good density and structure.
The balance is remarkable, oscillating between power and finesse.
The long finish reveals persistent aromas of spice and roasting, carried by a full-bodied structure and fine maturity.
The finish is long and enveloping, full of character.

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.
Domain and appellation
-
• Château d'Arcins, founded in the 14th century by the Templars, is one of the oldest estates in the Haut-Médoc.
• Acquired by the Castel family in 1971, it was fully renovated while respecting its historical heritage.
• In 1981, a bold and innovative vat room, with a circular design, was built, marking a new era for Bordeaux winery architecture and serving as a model for the region’s finest wines.
• Located on the famous “Route des Châteaux”, between Moulis and Margaux, the estate is now a recognised Cru Bourgeois and a member of the Cercle Rive Gauche since 2013, continuing to play a key role in preserving the region’s viticultural heritage. -
