The resurgence of l�Arrosee that we�ve seen over the last four or five years is not apparent in the 2000. It has matured quickly, revealing an orange/rust color at its rim. Notes of earth, herbes de Provence, black cherries, red currants, and dusty, loamy soil undertones are present in this elegant, fully mature, medium-bodied 2000. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

Deep crimson; very lively colour. Like an object lesson in Bordeaux Merlot (the only one to demonstrate this!). Big, bloody, round, supple, easy to love, but incredibly forward – perhaps the most forward wine of the whole lot. A very good drink already – which is worrying considering the vintage characteristics. A bit short. (JR)
About the producer
Ch. l’Arrosée was a 9.5-hectare vineyard in Saint-Emilion. After the château was sold to Domaine Clarence Dillon (owners of Ch. Haut-Brion and Ch. la Mission Haut-Brion) in 2013, the wine was discontinued and the grapes are now used for Ch. Quintus.
