Powerful bouquet

This garnet-red wine with brick highlights offers a nose of black berries, peppers and vanilla notes. On the palate it has a good balance, with full and frankness on black fruits and cooked prunes. Good length frank and vinous.

Niečo o výrobcovi

Implemented by the Templars in the 14th century, the Chateau d’Arcins is considered as Medoc’s oldest domain. From the vineyard to the cellar, the domain was entirely renovated after being purchased by the Castel family in 1971.
 

 

• Terroir: The 100 hectares domain lays on a gravel-sand and clay-limestone soil. It benefits from the region exceptional weather and geological conditions. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot are the main grape varieties.

• Viticulture: Much care is given to the vines with debudding and deleafing operations as well as green harvests. Each hectare has a high density of plantation with 9000 plants. Vines are between 20 and 25 years old on average.

• Vinification: A drastic sorting is made during and after the harvests. A traditional process is used to elaborate this wine, adapted to its vintage. It is not subjected to a pre-fermentation maceration and the fermentation in stainless steel tanks follows. The wine ages 12 months in tanks that has no new wood. Those tanks protect de wine from oxygene.
