Château d'Arche

Château d’Arche is a 100-acre estate in Sauternes. It is named for the Comte d’Arche, who owned the estate in the late 18th century. After the French Revolution it was divided and sold. In the 1960s some of the best vineyards were brought back together and in the 1980s the estate came under the direction of the late Pierre Perromat, former head of the INAO, the French institute that regulates the awarding of designation of origin status for agricultural products, including wine. Perromat revitalized the estate and Robert M. Parker Jr. wrote in 2003 that “the style of wine produced at d’Arche offers very unctuous, rich fruit, no doubt because of the high percentage of Semillon, but also because of the late harvesting and the proprietor’s serious commitment…the wine is impeccably well made.” The second wine is Prieuré d’Arche.
