Château d’Arche, Grand Cru Classé de Sauternes, has taken advantage of its exceptional terroir to create a wine with very fine bubbles. Some qualitative vines, planted with Semillon and Sauvignon, have been especially driven to produce this sparkling wine. After the second fermentation in bottles and ageing on lath, we added for its disgorgement a dosage liquor based on Château d’Arche, grand cru classé en 1855.
This Traditional method, unique in the world, developed and invented by the Château d’Arche team since 2020. Our Blanc de Blanc has a beautiful golden color.
On the palate, its very fin bubbles combine delicate white flower notes and candied fruits aromas which are clearly reminiscent of our great Sauternes.

Our creations

It is made from the direct pressing of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon planted on a small, late-slope terroir of Graves, on a silty-gravelly soil with astery-limestone at the top. Fermented in stainless steel vats and then partially matured in Sauternes barrels at Château d’Arche, this dry, fresh and tangy rosé has unique aromatic characteristics.
