2001 | Château d'Arche | Sauternes

Bright and aromatic with passion fruit, mango and lemon on the nose. Just a hint of honey. Full-bodied, very sweet and very intense with vanilla, botrytis spice and piecrust.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The d’Arche 2001 has a front-loaded bouquet with bold and brassy, honeyed fruit that you could almost describe as 'over the top'. It loses a little detail, but you will find it irresistible. The palate is simple compared to its peers, but there is clearly plenty of botrytis evident here with plenty of tangy marmalade on the finish.

• Wine Spectator: Bright and aromatic with passion fruit, mango and lemon on the nose. Just a hint of honey. Full-bodied, very sweet and very intense with vanilla, botrytis spice and piecrust. Best ever from this estate. Best after 2008.

Producer Information

Château d'Arche Was created in 1580 by Henry d'Arche, dean of the city of Bordeaux. At the time, his wines were already some of the most famous Sauternes. During the 1789 Revolution, the Château was taken over by the state and it was another two centuries before the estate was reunified. Château d'Arche joined the Grand Cru Classé classification of 1855. The range of wines consists of the production of the Sauternes grand cru classé and its second wine called Le Prieuré d'Arche, Perle d'Arche and Soleil d'Arche. A dry white wine is also produced in small quantities as well as a crémant d'Arche which was launched in 2016 on the market. In addition to the 53 hectares AOC Sauternes, Château d'Arche has 2,2 hectares in AOC Grave which allow the production of red wine.
