"Very pure and texturally not unlike a fine Burgundy. It has a disarming purity and feels long and tender on the finish. Delicious." - The Wine Advocate

"A success." - Jancis Robinson MW

About a week after we bought this wine, the ‘Alliance des Crus Bourgeois du Médoc’ promoted Chateau Arnauld from a humble 'Cru Bourgeois Supérieur' to a stately 'Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel', so it tastes much better now. It has new and improved aromas of shiny black currants, dewy hedgerow fruits, black cherry and pencil shavings. The colour is deep and glossy and as vibrant and sassy as the wine itself. - a dazzling, full-bodied beauty. Winemaking consultant, Hubert de Boüard of Chateau Angelus, has coaxed a real charmer from this strong vintage, taking the fruit concentration to its natural limit while preserving real liveliness in the wine. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot 5% Petit Verdot. 18 months in new barrels. 14% alc. Drink now-2030.

Press reviews:

Jancis Robinson MW: “Light stony nose. Lovely round texture with sufficient acidity and tannin underneath. Very fresh but not skinny. A success. Energetic.” 16.5 points

The Wine Advocate: “The 2015 Arnauld has a clean and crisp bouquet with blackberry, briary and light graphite scents that open nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin, very pure and texturally not unlike a fine Burgundy. It has a disarming purity and feels long and tender on the finish. Delicious. Drink now-2032” 90 points
