About Ch. Des Arroucats
This domain has been family-run for several generations since the foundation just after WWII. Currently it is led by Virginie Barbe, who makes these wines with an incredible passion. In Sainte-Croix-du-Mont you will find identical grape varieties as in Sauternes, with a similar climate with morning fog and sunny afternoons.
