The Chateau d'Arche has a light bouquet that is missing some complexity compared to its peers. The palate is more promising, especially on the entry, with attractive mandarin and orange zest notes. The acidity is well-judged and the wine finishes with the aplomb I wish was expressed aromatically. Perhaps this will develop during elevage, so I remain positive.
