L`Arrosée 2005 is a medium-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the St-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. Located on the western end of St-Emilion, the 10ha property of L`Arrosée`s is planted with 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. The property produces classically-styled, medium-bodied Saint-Émilion wines made from a blend of mostly Merlot with lesser parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. "A Bordeaux that seems to have a Burgundian personality, L’Arrosée’s 2005 displays elegance and finesse, with sweet black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, hints of minerality and earth, but soft tannin, a lush, medium-bodied style, and impressive concentration, purity and overall texture. By no means a blockbuster (in a vintage that produced almost endless numbers of them), this wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 15-20 years." Wine Advocate, 2015

Vinous
Medium red. Sexy aromas of redcurrant, graphite and smoky, nutty oak. Supple, lush and soft but with harmonious acidity giving shape to the currant and smoke flavors. One senses some thoroughly ripe cabernet here. Finishes with sweet tannins, lingering red fruits and good cut. The best vintage in a long time for this chateau.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008
