Note di degustazione
Tight tannins on the opening beats, with evident acidity, but this has plenty of depth through the mid palate, and well extracted redcurrant and raspberry fruits, with soft grilled campfire smoke and fennel punctuation. Arsac was promoted to Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel status on 1 January 2020, making this the first vintage under the ranking.

Dried flowers, herbs, tobacco leaf, lead pencil and cherry aromas are your initial attraction. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, fruity, forward and fresh with a nice blast of sweet, ripe, polished cherries on the mid-palate and in the creamy finish where you find a refreshing note of spearmint on the backend. Drink from 2023-2037.
The 2020 Château d'Arsac has a well-defined, quite elegant nose, perfumed blackberry and bilberry fruit, crushed iris petal and light cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine structure. Not a powerful 2020 with just a slight tinniness on the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle, and this Margaux Cru Bourgeois will turn out fine.
Cru bourgeois exceptionnel. 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot on fine gravel or sandy gravel. Yield: 40 hl/ha. 12 months in barrels (40% new, 40% second-use, 20% third-use). 150,000 bottles. Well-polished tannins and slightly raw, 'green' fruit. This tastes a little underripe. And short. (JR)
