Château d'Arsac Margaux 2020

This fine estate at the western end of the Margaux appellation has produced a smooth ripe wine. Black fruits, wood flavors and ripe tannins give it a generous feel. The wine will be ready to drink from 2026.

Blackcurrants, mushrooms, bark, and black cherries. Some tar. Full body with juicy and chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Solid red for the vintage.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 D'Arsac gives up notes of ripe raspberries, Bing cherries and fresh blackberries, plus hints of wild thyme and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate offers compellingly pure red berry layers with bright herbal sparks and a soft texture, leading to a refreshing finish.

Always a solid wine, the 2020 Château D'Arsac has a complex, nuanced nose of red and black fruits, dried flowers, Asian spices, and cedary herbs. It’s medium-bodied and has good overall balance, ripe tannins, and wonderful purity of fruit.
