Château d’Arche, Sauternes Grand Cru Classé
If you’re slightly confused as to why a wine of this magnitude is coming to you at such a ridiculously low price, you’re certainly not alone. Our guesses were much, much higher, to the point where we triple-checked with the importer. Rest assured, there is no mistake: Having spent the majority of its life in the cellar of Château d’Arche—founded by namesake Henry d’Arche a whopping 470 years ago—today’s 1998 is an impeccably crafted Grand Cru Sauternes for just $35.Although in a 375ML bottle, for me, that’s the perfect amount of indulgence because these confoundingly rich nectars awaken the deepest of emotions and enchant the palate for minutes on end. Ultimately, decades-old Sauternes is one of those rare wine experiences that transports you to utopia—but taking you there for a mere $35 entry fee is even rarer. I strongly suggest you take advantage because they’ll be in peak form whether drinking now or in the decades to come![NOTE: This wine will be arriving at our warehouse the week
