Château l'Arrosée

Create an alert
Château l'Arrosée is a Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Emilion, located on the South Coast of Saint-Emilion. Located on the southern front of the Saint-Emilion hillsides, in the extension of Ausone, Château l'Arrosée is distinguished by two types of soils planted in the same proportion of three grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc). Part of the vineyard planted on the sheltered slope to the southwest of Saint-Emilion benefits from maximum sunlight, for the clay-silt-limestone soil. This exposure promotes harvest maturity, especially since the soil offers good regulation of plant nutrition in terms of both water and mineral salts. Historically, Château l'Arrosée owes its name to the presence of an underground spring. The second part of the vineyard occupies sandy-loamy terrain at the foot of the slope. This double terroir contributes to the complexity and typicity of the vineyard. 60% Merlot is blended with 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. A contribution of Cabernets makes this wine unique compared to other vineyards in the appellation. The average age of its vines is 35 years, and 45 for the oldest. Its cultivation follows traditional methods, de-budding, green harvesting, leaf removal. The harvesting is done manually with very selective sorting. After passing through temperature-controlled vats, the wine ages for 15 months in new barrels. The annual production of Château l'Arrosée is around 40,000 bottles.
