Château d'Arche 2011 Barrel Sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
92-94. Barrel sample. An impressive wine that has weight and intense botrytis notes. Its acidity gives a delicious lift to its powerful flavors of yellow fruits, tangerines and light wood spices.

Château d'Arche 2010 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 Rich more than dry, the palate a very spicy character, the texture full, unctuous, but more than just sweet.
— R.V.

Château d'Arche 2009 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 Barrel sample. Strong botrytis, very rich, totally honeyed. This is a powerful wine, very straight in its style, packed with the sweetest apricot jam.
— R.V.

Château d'Arche 2005 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
90-92 Barrel sample. A well-balanced, concentrated wine, full of botrytis flavors: richness, poised honey and lemon. This is going to be an impressive wine for a second growth—in about 10 years—but already shows signs of greatness.
— R.V.

Château d'Arche 2007 White (Sauternes)
A tight wine, its sweet fruit rolling around between the texture of pear skins. There is freshness here, the acidity and the dry botrytis taking away from any huge sweetness.
— R.V.

Château d'Arche 2006 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
89—91 Barrel sample. Layers of richness here, underpinned by fresh acidity. The dense botrytis is very dominant, leaving the green pear and peach flavors as second rans.
— R.V.

Château d'Arche 2008 Barrel Sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
87-89 Barrel sample. Firm, ripe, densely structured, giving what is almost a meal in itself. The texture is dry, also rich, powerful.
— R.V.

Château d'Arche 2006 White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
This is certainly a rich wine, the yellow peach flavors ripe and concentrated. But there is also a hard core where the botrytis dominates and makes for a tight character. It is missing charm.
— R.V.
