Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
A deep garnet colour, clear and brilliant. A distinct nose of spices, black fruits and roasted fig, with notes of cocoa, roasted coffee and candied pepper. Full-bodied, rich and well-balanced on the palate, with a lovely texture, the spices and roasted notes lingering on a long 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 Knights Templar in the 14th century, Château d’Arcins is now one of the oldest estates in the Haut-Médoc. From the vineyard to the cellar, the estate has been completely renovated since its acquisition by the Castel family in 1971.
Terroir: The 100-hectare estate is situated on soil comprising gravel and sand, as well as limestone and clay. It benefits from exceptional climatic and geological conditions. The vineyard is planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Viticulture: Great care is taken in the vineyard, with operations such as debudding, leaf removal and green harvesting. Planting density is high, at 9,000 vines per hectare. The vines have an average age of between 20 and 25 years. Harvesting is carried out mechanically. During both the harvest and the winemaking process, the grapes are rigorously sorted.
