Châteaud’Arsac始於12世紀,在16世紀由世界著名哲學家Michel de Montaigne蒙田的兄弟 - 托馬斯・蒙田繼承,他在18世紀末期根植下了Merlot和Cabernet Sauvignon兩種葡萄品種。
獨特的沙質 - 砂礫土壤釀製出了一種「細膩而甘美」的紅酒,在20世紀初,d'Arsac葡萄園是梅多克地區最大的葡萄園,但由於全世界根瘤蚜蟲害的爆發和葡萄酒業的蕭條,促使了當時決定銷毀這片葡萄園。以致在1954年著名的瑪哥產區劃分時,這片被拋棄的莊園被排除在外。
如今的的莊主Philippe Raoux先生,歷經10年堅持不懈的努力,重拾釀造理想的Château d’Arsac,終於獲得了一半葡萄園瑪哥Margaux產區命名的權利。

The 2016 D'Arsac was showing just a touch of volatility on the nose at first, although my sample addressed that with some rigorous aeration, revealing marine-tinged black fruit laced with blueberry and crushed violet. The palate is medium-bodied with a vibrant, spicy opening and superb delineation. Very harmonious in the mouth, there is impressive depth and wonderful freshness to this Margaux, delivering great length on the finish. It should be afforded maybe five years to fully subsume that new oak, but it will certainly be worth the wait. Bucking the trend for Margaux wines to have peaked in 2015, this 2016 is leagues above last year's wine. Bravo.

The fragrant ripe-blackberry nose leads into this rather powerful Margaux with plenty of structure, the tannins building nicely on the long, moderately firm finish. Drink or hold.

Vines and a spectacular park with modern sculpture mark out this showpiece estate. It has produced an elegant wine, full of perfumed fruit and with fine, dusty tannins. It should age well, morphing into a stylish wine with richness and longevity.
