Critics scores
88 Wine Spectator
A delightful, delicate St.-Emilion. Pleasant blackberry and raspberry character. Medium-bodied, with good fruit, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Best after 2006. 2,915 cases made.
86 Robert Parker
Scents of overripe red cherries, along with a boatload of toasty new oak are present in this delicate, lacy, medium-bodied St.-Emilion. A 90-point nose is followed by 82-point flavors, hence the score. This 1998 should drink well for 12-14 years.
Producer
Château l'Arrosée
Château l'Arrosée was originally named after an underground spring. For many years, it was owned by François Rodham. In 2002, Roger Caille purchased it and began managing it with his son, Jean-Philippe. Though they made many investments in order to tap into the estate's great potential, in October 2013, they sold it to Domaine Clarence Dillon, the owner of Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. L'Arrosée's vineyards are now be incorporated into the neighboring Château Quintus, a property Dillon bought in 2011, which had been formerly named Château Tertre Daugay, and renamed Quintus after the Gallo-Roman tradition of calling their fifth child Quintus.
