Château D'Arcie 2020
Château D’Arcie is slowly building a reputation as one of the best estates situated in the flat parts of the Appellation. The 40 year old vines are tended with respect for the environment and the wine is a perfect example of this most fashionable of Appellations at a price that won’t break the bank.

Advice
Serving
Serve at room temperature.
On the palate
There is obvious sweet fruit which is very pure and deeply concentrated. It is elegant and refined with very typical Saint-Emilion characteristics.
Food pairings
This is a perfect partner for red meat, especially grilled pieces of beef, although it makes a good match for roast poultry.
Reviews
- Argent
"Intense, modern with high fruit concentration of black fruit, spice and a herbal leafy touch. High amount of fine grained tannins, very long and lingering." [+]Decanter World Wine Awards Argent 2023
"Tasty and layered, with dark plums, ash, dried herbs and blackcurrants on the nose. Medium to full body with firm yet rounded tannins. Excellent balance and depth. Drink from 2024." [+]
