Tasting notes
Savory herbs, cranberry and dried flower aromas are the best part of the wine. The palate is medium-to light bodied with a bright, high-pitched, chalky, red berry character that is best suited for early drinking pleasure. Drink from 2024-2030.

The 2021 Château d'Arsac offers little on the nose, showing less fruit than I would have expected despite giving the bottle plenty of aeration. The palate is raw on the entry, with an unavoidable underlying greenness and a very monotone finish. This Margaux estate can produce fine wines, but alas, this is not one of them.
Black berry fruit, black beans, graphite and tapenade on the nose. It’s firm yet elegant with very fine tannins. Medium-bodied, sleek and composed. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. Drink from 2024.
The 2021 Château d'Arsac has a well-defined bouquet of brambly red fruit with touches of graphite and rose petal. The palate is balanced but green around the edges and rather hollow on the finish.
