La Fleur d' Arthus comes from the Saint-Émilion appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux. It is the birthplace of garage wines, and it is also home to many of the world's most famous wineries, such as Saint-Emilion Premier "A" Château Blanc, Pafay, Auson, Admiralty and other top châteaux from this region. The Bordeaux king Patus is right next door. Today, Bordeaux's reputation on the right bank has long since equaled that of the Médoc on the left bank of Bordeaux. Saint-Emilion was also the first wine region in the world to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This assessment confirms the exceptional terroir of the wine-growing region, with its terraced vineyards and the reputation of "the hills of a thousand wineries".
Introduction:
La Fleur d' Arthus is a small, typical Burgundian family house in Bordeaux. Château d'Étus de l'Étus has around 10 hectares of vineyards and is located next to Château Pavie, a Saint-Emilion Premier "A". The vineyard has a unique topography, abundant sunlight and a soil rich in silica minerals, making it one of the best plots of land in the surrounding area. Every year, the winery takes care of nature, always with nature in mind, and grows high-quality grapes. The Château de l'Etos uses the gentle Merlot as the main variety, with 30% Cabernet Franc added. Small wineries often need to increase production in order to stay in business, but the owners of Château d'Etus do not follow the usual path, surviving against the odds, with old trees and low yields, and using Bordeaux King Patus-style vineyards to strictly control yields and improve quality.
Therefore, the owner has always described his winery as small, old, low, fine and long: the vineyard area is small, the trees are old, the yield is low, the fine wine is long-lasting. In the event of a bad vintage, they are willing not to make wine, such as 2017, which is called by industry insiders: Romanée-Conti willfulness.
The beloved of the 'Score Party', the 'Honor Student' in the eyes of wine critics.
Almost every year's wines receive high marks. Whether it's Wine Advocate, Antonio Galloni, James Suckling, or Robert Parker, almost any vintage of Ertus Frauc has achieved a score of 90 or more. During his reign, Bacchus Parker had a soft spot for Castus Castle, giving the same rating as Little Raffi every time. In recent years, the reputation of Château d'Eitus has been further strengthened, with a number of professional tasters giving high scores, and many of the best wines on the Left Bank have been left behind.
Wine Reviews:
Medium-dark pomegranate purple with delicate aromas of cherry wine, raspberry blossom and black cherry with hints of rose and new leather, with a hint of cigar box. Medium-bodied, soft, fresh and elegant, this is a sweet, harmonious wine with a lingering finish.
