The Origins of a Great M\u00e9doc Estate<\/h3>\n

The first traces of Ch\u00e2teau d \u201cArsac date back to the 12th century, when it was the property of the Lords of\u201d Arsac. Over the centuries, the estate passed into the hands of illustrious families, including Thomas de Montaigne, brother of the famous philosopher Michel de Montaigne, in the 16th century. As early as the 18th century, the first Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted there, announcing the site’s viticultural calling. <\/p>\n

At the beginning of the 20th century, Ch\u00e2teau d’Arsac was the largest vineyard in M\u00e9doc. Unfortunately, the phylloxera crisis ravaged the vines, leading to the total uprooting of the vineyard. During the delimitation of the Margaux AOC in 1954, the estate, left abandoned, was excluded from the appellation. <\/p>\n

In 1986, Philippe Raoux, a passionate Bordeaux wine merchant, acquired the ruined estate. He undertook a true reconstruction: replanting the vineyard, rehabilitating the buildings, modernizing the cellars, and giving the ch\u00e2teau a new aesthetic and cultural identity. This ambitious project restored the estate’s prestige and firmly placed it in modernity. <\/p>\n
