Chateau Arnaud 2020
£15.50 GBP
A classic Bordeaux Supérieur from Bordeaux, France, Château Arnaud 2020 is a dry red blend that reflects the quality of the excellent 2020 vintage.
It’s dominated by Merlot with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged about 12 months in French oak barrels for added depth and structure.
On the nose and palate, expect ripe black and red fruits with spice, toasty oak and subtle earthy notes, supported by balanced tannins and a lingering finish.
Scores around 90–91 points from critics underline its polished profile.
