Description

The 2019 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 100 Ans d’Arthus from Château Hautes Graves d’Arthus is a remarkable red wine that celebrates the estate’s century-old legacy and the exceptional terroir of Saint-Émilion. This wine is a true reflection of the artistry and tradition behind one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious appellations.

In the glass, it displays a deep, ruby red color with inviting violet reflections. The nose is complex and elegant, offering aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, with subtle notes of tobacco, leather, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with structured tannins and balanced acidity that provide depth and richness. The dark fruit flavors are complemented by nuances of earth, chocolate, and soft oak, leading to a long, smooth finish.

Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, the 2019 100 Ans d’Arthus has developed great complexity and integration. The aging process allows the wine’s rich fruit character and the influence of the oak to harmonize beautifully, creating a wine that is both powerful and refined. With an alcohol content of 14%, this wine is perfect for pairing with roasted meats, lamb, duck, and aged cheeses, and will continue to evolve with time.
