{"title":"Château d\u0026#39;Arsac","description":"Philippe Raoux acquired the Arsac estate in 1986 and undertook extensive renovations of the château, completely modernizing the winery. Apart from the retaining walls, he essentially began a renovation from the ground up. His other priority was to revitalize the 112 hectares of vineyards and revive the quality of the wine. A unique experience came when he approached the INAO, France\u0026#39;s national wine institution and wine regulator, to have the Château d\u0026#39;Arsac vineyard reclassified as part of the Margaux appellation. This was a true testament to the tenacity of a vineyard owner. Since 1995, 54 hectares of the vineyard have been classified under the AOC Margaux appellation, with the remainder belonging to the AOC Haut-Médoc appellation. Philippe\u0026#39;s visionary approach is reflected in a strong alliance between wine, vines, and the arts. He is committed to making Château d\u0026#39;Arsac a lasting expression of both modernity and tradition. He commissioned the Bordeaux architect Patrick Hernandez with the meticulous task of renovating Château d\u0026#39;Arsac and boldly modernizing the estate. Through the combination of stainless steel, wood, glass, and the Electric Blue paintwork, Château d\u0026#39;Arsac stands out and is now considered one of the most original châteaux in the Médoc. The Château d\u0026#39;Arsac estate covers 250 hectares. The 112-hectare vineyard is planted with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc (Cuvée Céline).","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/collections\/chateau-darsac.oembed","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
