The Château d’Arche was created 1580 by Henry d’Arche, one of Bordeaux’s most senior members. During the 1749 revolution, the Château was seized by the State and it was more than tow centuries before the property was unified.

The Château d’Arche entered the classification of the “grands crus classes” in 1855.

The Château d’Arche now belongs to a group of European investors.

The vineyard has a surface area of 40 ha, consisting of 70% gravel, 20% clay and 10% limestone, the vin is broken down by 90% Sémillon and 10% Sauvignon.

The harvest starts around the 20 September and lasts until the end of October. Selective picking by hand yields only botrytis grapes.

The grapes are placed in vertical press and the must is pumped up in a tank where it is allowed to rest a day. The fermentation take place in oak barrels and it is done in 15 days to a month. The wines are then aging in barrels for 18 months, and then pour in to bottles.
