CHEVALIER D'ARCINS

From vineyard to cellar, the estate has been completely renovated since it was bought by the Castel family in 1971. The 100-hectare estate extends over a soil of gravel and sand, as well as limestone and clay. It benefits from exceptional climatic and geological conditions.

The majority of the vines are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Great care is taken in the vineyard, with disbudding, leaf thinning and green harvesting. Planting density is high, at 9,000 vines per hectare. The vines are between 20 and 25 years old on average. Harvesting is mechanical.
