Soleil d'Arche - Sauternes 2019

Founded in 1580 by Henry d’Arche it is one of the oldest estates in the Sauternes appellation. Currently they have 30 hectares of vines, primarily Semillon. Set in the heart of Sauternes village, the team of Chateau d’Arche led by Matthieu Arroyo, oenologist and researcher, creates wines of Grand Cru Classé as if creating a piece of art. This Chateau set 40 km south of Bordeaux continues to produce rare artisanal products, “cousu main à la Française”.

Fruity on the nose. Quince aromas shine through, combined with lychee and green apple notes plus a touch of beeswax. Fruity and juicy on the palate with a good structure of acidity and a rounded style. This wine offers up crystallised citrus and green apple notes, with some lighter exotic fruit touches and a hint of orange.

85% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc
