2022 Chateau D'Arsac - Margaux (750ml)
Another outstanding 2022 at a very nice price!
Château d'Arsac has one of the largest holdings in the Margaux appellation, farming 54 hectares of sandy-gravelly soil shaped by the nearby Gironde estuary. Under owner Philippe Raoux, who revitalized the historic estate starting in 1986, the 2022 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-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-driven nose of well-ripened black fruit with empyreumatic notes on the swirl, and a massive, dense palate carrying real savoriness and unctuous, silky tannins on the finish. Serious structure and ageing potential for a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel price point.
