A nose that evokes fruity indulgence, a smooth attack with a wine that is well present on a precise, silky, and balanced tannic structure. A generous finish leaving an impression of biting into a grape.... Everything comes together for your enjoyment. A well-bred Margaux offering excellent value for money! • Delivery in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine delivered in France (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

Wine rated (2017 guide) 88/100 (Good wine)

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About wine:

Tasted during the annual Cru Bourgeois tasting, the 2015 D'Arsac is bursting with dark fruit and tobacco on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, quite lively and energetic with a slight marine influence on the slightly metallic finish. Give it another year in the bottle. Tasted in September 2017.

About wine:

Owner Philippe Raoux has created a large sculpture park and a series of impressive vintages on this estate located at the western end of Margaux. This vintage is already one of the best, rich and vibrant with excellent fruit and full-bodied tannins. It needs extensive aging.
