Château d'Arsac

3.9/5See all 60 reviews

As the heir to a family winemaking tradition spanning several generations, Philippe Raoux acquired Château d'Arsac in 1986. At the time, the estate was in a state of disrepair, so he undertook the restoration of the buildings and the vineyard.

Château d'Arsac comprises 112 hectares of contiguous vineyards, part of which lies within the Margaux appellation and the other in the Haut-Médoc. It benefits from a favorable terroir: a sandy-gravelly hilltop mixed with a fairly thin layer of clay. Château d'Arsac thus produces two red wines: Château d'Arsac (Margaux) and Château Le Monteil d'Arsac (Haut-Médoc), as well as a white wine: Château d'Arsac Cuvée Céline (Bordeaux).

Philippe Raoux has built Château d'Arsac’s reputation not only on the quality of its wines but also as a place of creativity and openness to art. Every year since 1992, he has acquired a contemporary artwork: works by Claude Viallat, Niki de Saint Phalle, Bernard Pagès, and César, among others, have been incorporated into the Sculpture Garden surrounding the Château.
