Château d'Arche - A d’Arche Bordeaux Blanc 2021 (750ml)

“A” of Château d’Arche is a Bordeaux appellation dry wine produced by Château d’Arche, Grand cru classé de Sauternes in 1855. Blended from 85% Semillon, the emblematic grape variety of Sauternes, and 15% Sauvignon, hand-picked, this wine reflects all the typicity of its terroir. Harvested on the verge of botrytisation, these grapes offer an exceptional aromatic base that is not unlike the notes of our great Sauternes. Its maturing on fine lees half in vats and half in barrels, 20% of which are new and 30% in Sauternes wine barrels, will only reinforce its identity and aromatic power. This wine has a pale, limpid and brilliant colour. The nose is fresh and offers numerous citrus fruits (lemon, citron yellow, grapefruit), passion fruit and floral notes (acacia flower) typical of Semillon. The maturing in barrels brings a light toasty touch which completes the aromatic complexity. On the palate, we find the aromatic freshness on the nose with a nice tension from the attack to the finish,
