| STYLE |
Château ARNAULD is owned by the THEIL family who also own the excellent Châteaux Poujeaux. Masterfully crafted by François Theil, with the oenological surveillance of Mr. Jacques BOISSENOT, the wine is both powerful and elegant due to the blending of the two grape varieties. The wines are very rich, ripe, well structured with beautiful layers of ripe fruit and tannins. Can age easily 3 to 10 years. Excellent value. |
