Château L'Arrosée - 1998 - Château l'Arrossée
Ref: A041098
Grand Cru Classé St. Emilion

Lots of toasty oak and black cherry on the nose the palate is medium-bodied and delicate. The tannins do not overpower and the wine, whilst it can be drunk now, should benefit by 5 or so more years.

Situated on the côtes of St. Emilion the estate was first listed in Le Féret in 1868 when it was owned by Pierre Magne, a minister in Napolean III's government.

The château is ideally placed to make superb wine and would surely have been rated 1er Grand Cru Classé if the classification were to take place today rather than in 1955 when it was declared a Grand Cru Classé as it did not vinify its own wines at that time. (In fact they started a year later under the ownership of François Rhodain).

Francois Rhodain sold the property in 2002 to Roger and Jean-Philippe Caille who maintain L'Arrosée's unique style. Their wines combine fleshiness with firmness and power with fragrance.

60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet-Franc, 20% Cabernet-Sauvignon.
