    Castel Château D'Αrcins Haut-Médoc Red Wine 750 ml

    838371
    Château D' Arcins  is today considered one of the oldest estates in the Haut-Médoc, with vines first planted in the 14th century at the behest of the Knights Templar. The property owes its name to a knight by the name of “Ars”, who inhabited the property around the year 1300. In the image of the First Growths, the vineyard is planted at a density of 9,600 vines per hectare. They comprise two complementary terroirs – one of gravel and the other of chalky clay. Château d’Arcins is a rich, well-balanced Haut-Médoc. Concentrated aromas of red fruits are offset by more nuanced notes of orange peel. A harmonious blend of flavours is held together by a luscious, warm, and ultimately robust structure. As part of a long-standing commitment to stainable winegrowing, Château D' Arcins obtained the Terra Vitis certification in 2018

    Vinification Details
    Vinification was adapted on certain vats, mainly the Merlots, where the potential alcohol level was
    higher.
    • The Cabernet Sauvignon was vinified in the traditional manner, with considerable extraction work   carried out at the start of fermentation and post-fermentation maceration at 27-28°C
    • Maceration temperatures (26°C) were reduced to avoid the extraction of any bitterness
    • Petit Verdot made its first appearance in the vats. Planted in 2016, the plots were harvested for the first time in 2018. The grapes were picked at perfect maturity, producing very colourful, fruity
    and spicy wines
