Chateau D'arche

2004 Sauternes White Blend

The Global Wine Co Chateau D'Arche, a remarkable white blend from the prestigious Sauternes region, truly embodies the essence of exquisite winemaking. This vintage from 2004 displays a pale golden hue, enticing the senses before the first sip. On the nose, the wine reveals an alluring bouquet of dried apricots, honey, and subtle floral notes, harmonizing beautifully with hints of citrus zest. The palate is luxuriously full-bodied, showcasing a captivating balance of high acidity and pronounced fruit intensity that dances across the tongue. The sweetness is perfectly countered by a vibrant acidity, offering a delightful mouthwatering experience. A soft presence of well-integrated tannins adds structure, while the wine's off-dry finish lingers elegantly, inviting you to savor every moment. This enchanting blend not only represents Sauternes' legendary terroir but also highlights the artistry and craftsmanship of its producers.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
