Château d’Arche 2006 – Sauternes – 2nd Grand Cru Classé

The nose is quite elegant and fruity. It reveals notes of candied citrus (tangerine, lemon) associated with a touch of peach and spices (touches of cinnamon and cloves). The palate is fresh, balanced, fruity, racy, incisive, relatively aerial and offers a nice tension in the mouth. There is a small acid frame that leads the tasting. In the mouth it expresses notes of candied citrus and roasted pineapple associated with a touch of exotic fruits, honey, orange marmalade and a touch of clementine and walnut aftertaste. Good length. Good length and persistence on notes of candied citrus (tangerine, lemon).
