Our Review of the Cuvée
Argilus du Roi
L’Argilus du Roi is a human-scale property within the Saint-Estèphe appellation, established in 2004 and acquired in 2010 by Martial Mignet, a passionate viticulture enthusiast. The estate prioritizes a long-term vision, combining respect for viticultural tradition, the land, and the vine, while integrating modern winemaking methods.
With only 5 hectares of vines, L’Argilus du Roi is among the smallest châteaux in the appellation, producing a limited number of bottles of its sole grand vin. Sustainable viticulture practices are employed, alongside highly selective sorting, to preserve the wine's elegance and quality.
The parcels are situated on a typical Saint-Estèphe terroir, composed of gravel, pebbles, and sand, in proximity to the Gironde. The estate asserts complete mastery over its production chain, ensuring a wine of high standards, comparable to its esteemed neighbors in the Médoc.
