Other Reviews….

The Chateau d'Arche has an attractive nose with subtle notes of lemon curd, almond and pear, struck through with impressive delineation and lift. The palate is medium-bodied with good weight and tension, fine focus and minerality, leading to a fresh vibrant, quite floral finish with purity and a decent (although not great) level of botrytis. This is an accomplished Sauternes from an estate that has raised its game in recent vintages.
Score: 91-93

I like this. Clean and very lively, with lots of white fruits such as apricots and peaches. Firm well-proportioned palate. Medium sweet. Long and rich on the finish.
Score: 91-92
