Description

Very nice deep ruby color, dazzling. Nose of black cherry, salted caramel, gingerbread. Full and indulgent on the palate with notes of brioche. Very nice impression of sweetness. Harmonious and generous overall, ending with an elegant and smooth finish. Two great experts of the terroir, Franck Bijon and Hubert de Boüard, were the driving force behind the renaissance Château Arnauld, purchased in 2007. Franck Bijon identified the potential of 5 hectares along the river’s edge, then selected other exceptional parcels one by one to create an estate of 17.2 hectares of great homogeneity which is now classified Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel.

Chateau Arnauld is a top performing Cru Bourgeoise property located in the Haut Médoc region of Bordeaux. Since 1976 it has been owned by the Theil Roger family (of Château Poujeaux fame) and today it is run by François Theil. Its 27 hectares of vineyards are located just outside the village of Arcins, north of the commune of Margaux in the Haut-Médoc. The wine is typically a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The grapes are fermented in a combination of concrete and stainless steel tanks and the wine is matured in small oak barrels (40% new) for 12 months. The wines are aromatically rich on the nose and tend to be medium-bodied with ripe tannins and good levels of ripe black fruits on the palate. It can be drunk young but generally shows at its bets after 5 years of bottle ageing.
