Château d'Arche, based in Sauternes, produces sweet wines with a balance of acidity and botrytized richness, a classic example of the appellation's noble dessert wines.

Château d'Arche is a 40-hectare Second Growth Sauternes estate owned by the Thomassin family, producing sweet wines from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grown on limestone and clay soils where the Ciron River's morning mists create ideal conditions for noble rot. The estate maintains traditional methods with multiple harvest passes to select perfectly botrytized grapes, followed by conventional fermentation and oak aging that preserves the historical character of Sauternes viticulture.
