Château d'Arsac 2019

The elegance of a fruity and structured Exceptional Cru Bourgeois from Margaux

The property
Ranked as an Exceptional Cru Bourgeois, the Château d’Arsac is one of the oldest crus in the Médoc, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Owned by Philippe Raoux since 1986, the property has undergone a bold and original renovation. With a decidedly contemporary spirit, Château d’Arsac stands out with its winery dressed in stainless steel, a glass roof with raw materials, and its Klein blue color. The estate also hosts numerous artistic exhibitions in its Garden of Contemporary Art Sculptures. Renowned, the wines of Château d’Arsac are produced under the Margaux and Haut-Médoc appellations.

The vineyard of Château d’Arsac extends over 53 hectares of vines, averaging 27 years old, planted on deep gravel soils resting on brown soils and marl-limestone outcrops. This Margaux terroir is cultivated using sustainable practices, with a zero-residue policy in the wines since 2016. The vine rows are grassed, and each vine is monitored at all times.

Vinification and aging
Thermoregulated stainless steel vats, for an average of 21 days. Aging is carried out exclusively in barrels (40% new, 60% one wine).
