The L’Arrose estate, located on the southern edge of Saint-milion, produced a traditional Right Bank Bordeaux blend labeled Chteau L’Arrose until 2012. It first belonged to a minister of Napoleon III, Pierre Magne, in the mid 1800s and passed ownership multiple times until its purchase in 2013 by Domaine Clarence Dillon, owners of Chteau Haut-Brion and Chteau La Mission Haut-Brion. The estate was united with a neighboring Grand Cru Class estate previously Chteau Tertre Daugay that Domaine Clarence Dillon acquired in 2011 and renamed Chteau Quintus. The chteau’s vineyard faces south and spans close to 10 hectares (24 acres). The site is composed of limestone and clay soils and is planted to 60 percent Merlot, 20 percent Cabernet Franc, and 20 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with vines averaging 35 years old.
