Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
Dark brick colour. Nice frank nose of pepper, boxwood, notes of liquorice, roasted wood. Beautiful balance on a frank, full-bodied, vinous wine. The character is complex with aromas of mocha, burnt caramel, the tannins are ripe. Quite long and sapid finish.

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 Templar order in the 14th century, Château d'Arcins is today one of the oldest estates in the Haut-Médoc. From the vineyard to the cellar, the estate has been entirely renovated since its purchase by the Castel family in 1971. Terroir : The 100-hectare estate extends over a soil of 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 in the vineyard with disbudding, leaf removal and green harvesting. The density of plantation is high with 9000 vines per hectare. The vines are between 20 and 25 years old on average. The harvest is mechanical. During the harvest and also during the vinification, the grapes are drastically sorted.

Vin très agréable, parfait avec un bon morceau de viande rouge. Il a du corps et reste en même temps très rond en bouche. Bonne expérience et très bon rapport qualité prix lors de l'achat. Merci !
