Château L'Arrosée
シャトー・ラロゼ
A legendary Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé merged into Quintus.
Château L'Arrosée was a highly regarded Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé estate located on the southern slopes of Saint-Émilion. Its name originates from an underground natural spring on the property. Known for its unique terroir combining clay-limestone and sandy-loam soils, the estate produced elegant, rich, and well-structured wines with a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Right Bank. In 2013, the estate was acquired by Domaine Clarence Dillon and subsequently merged into Château Quintus, making its historic vintages highly sought-after collector's items.
