Chateau d’Arche Sauternes Grand Cru Classe 2009
Chateau d’Arche Sauternes Grand Cru Classe 2009, Bordeaux, France (375mL)
The Château d'Arche has one of the finest terroirs in Sauternes, and is classified as a Second Growth. It is located on a hill above the village of Sauternes on gravel and limestone-clay soil that is ideal for ripening and the development of botrytis.
90% Semillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, from vines that average 45 year old. The grapes are hand harvested through three passes, and yield a tiny 20 hl/ha. The wine ferments in stainless steel tanks and then ages for 12 to 18 months in 50% new oak barrels, 50% one year old barrels.
The nose reveals notes of orange peel and candied fruits. The mouth is fruity and airy. Powerful, mineral, this vintage presents a beautiful concentration and a nice balance. In the mouth, it expresses notes of honey, candied orange and quince associated with a touch of almond. The finish has a nice length with toasted notes.
