Château d'Arche Sauternes is a Grand Cru Classé wine produced by Château d'Arche in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. Sauternes is the global benchmark for sweet wines. This fine example comes from a property that was rated as a Second Growth in the classification of Sauternes and Barsac. The vineyard is situated on a hillside with a unique microclimate that allows for the development of noble rot, which concentrates the sugars in the grapes and gives the wine its signature honeyed and apricot flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the botrytized grapes, followed by slow fermentation and aging in oak barrels, half of which are new. The resulting wine is a luscious and complex dessert wine with a rich golden color and a long finish. Château d'Arche Sauternes is a true masterpiece of winemaking, showcasing the best of Bordeaux's sweet wines.
