The Château d’Arche is located at the very heart of a 40 hectare vineyard on the small hills surrounding Sauternes. Its unique location allows it to benefit from a particularly favourable climate. The morning mists dispersed by the sun enable the development of Botrytis Cinerea, a bacterium essential for the growth of outstanding Sauternes wines.

The vineyard is planted on a variety of soils (70% gravels, 20% clay and 10 % limestone) which allow for the growth of wines with specific gustative qualities: strength from the gravels, aromas from the clays and delicacy from the silts. The North-South axis of the vineyard ensures the grapes a maximum amount of sunshine throughout the day.
