2022 Chateau D'Arsac - Margaux (750ml)

Another outstanding 2022 at a very nice price!

Château d'Arsac has one of the largest holdings in Margaux, with 54 hectares of sandy, gravelly soil shaped by the nearby Gironde estuary. The estate was revitalized starting in 1986 under the late Philippe Raoux, and the 2022 is a Cabernet-dominant blend (72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot) fermented in temperature-controlled steel vats with gentle extraction. Deep, dark garnet in color, it shows a classic Cabernet nose of well-ripened black fruit with toasty notes on the swirl, and a massive, dense palate carrying real savoriness and unctuous, silky tannins on the finish. Serious structure and aging potential at a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel price.
