The Winemakers’ Collection Michel Rolland Cuvée No. 1 Château d’Arsac

Blog

Conjured by Michel Rolland himself—the man behind the curtain—the label touts “He currently offers advice to a hundred wine growing estates in 13 countries, on three continents. Considered the ultimate modern winemaker.” Cuvée No. 1 is big-boned with saturating aromas of raspberry jam, caramel popcorn, and buttered rum ball. Sweet on the palate, like plum tart with ripe tannins. One feels the character has been polished out of it, white rice in milk (a childhood dish) with cinnamon and sugar on the finish.
