2010 Chateau d'Arche 2nd Grand Cru Classe

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
