Château d'Arcins

ARCINS

Description

Vines were first cultivated on the Chateau d'Arcins site by the Knights Templar in the year 1300
For centuries, the wine estate at Arcins has been developing a vineyard first cultivated by the Knights Templar in the year 1300.
Visitors are imbued with a profound sense of history as they cross one of the Haut-Médoc's first vineyards.
The chateau itself was built later on the site of a former manor house, in the 17th century (1687 et 1842 are the two dates inscribed on the vat-house). It has since been restructured on many different occasions, by many different owners.
The chateau's current appearance is the result of a complete restoration undertaken following its acquisition by the Castel family in 1971.
From the road, visitors catch a glimpse of the fine wrought iron gates, with doorman's lodgings inscribed with the château's initials...
