Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)
A major sleeper in this vintage, the 2015 d'Arsac is superb. Hints to savory herb, flowers tobacco and mint meld into a core of sumptuous dark red fruit. This bold Margaux Cru Bourgeois is a serious overachiever and flat out delicious. The 2015 is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.$277.00 -

A one-off for Hubert de Boüard this year. Juicy and fruity. Full-bodied, tight and chewy. Shows depth.$313.00 -

The 2018 Château d’Arsac has an attractive bouquet of blackberry, cassis and light violet aromas, understated at first but opening with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with graphite-tinged black fruit, taut and focused, not powerful or voluminous yet full of tension and precision on the finish. Very fine.$289.00 -

(6x150cl) 2019Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)
The 2019 d'Arsac has a very Margaux-like bouquet with crushed violet and potpourri bursting from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannins, well judged acidity, tobacco and minty notes infusing the black fruit towards the finish. Probably early drinking but nicely made.$288.00 -

The 2020 Château d'Arsac has a well-defined, quite elegant nose, perfumed blackberry and bilberry fruit, crushed iris petal and light cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine structure. Not a powerful 2020 with just a slight tinniness on the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle, and this Margaux Cru Bourgeois will turn out fine.$179.00 -
(12x75cl) 2021Vinous - Neal Martin (82-84)
The 2021 Château d'Arsac has a well-defined bouquet of brambly red fruit with touches of graphite and rose petal. The palate is balanced but green around the edges and rather hollow on the finish.$215.00 -
