Our opinion on the vintage

This Saint-Estèphe reveals a deep purple color and a subtle nose blending woody notes, black and red fruits, and a touch of ripeness. On the palate, the oak predominates over the fruit, with fine tannins and well-balanced acidity, offering a flavorful and harmonious whole. Ideal to accompany flavorful red meats such as lamb, pigeon, or ostrich, this wine can be enjoyed until 2026.

Château L'Argilus du Roi

L'Argilus du Roi

Languedoc | France

L'Argilus du Roi is a human-scale estate in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, established in 2004 and taken over in 2010 by Martial Mignet, a pilot with a passion for viticulture. The estate prioritizes a long-term vision, combining respect for winemaking tradition, the land, and the vines, while integrating modern winemaking methods.

With only 5 hectares of vines, L'Argilus du Roi is one of the smallest châteaux in the appellation and produces a limited number of bottles of its single grand vin. Sustainable farming practices and rigorous sorting are employed to preserve the elegance and quality of the wine.

The plots lie on a terroir typical of Saint-Estèphe, composed of gravel, pebbles and sand, near the Gironde estuary. The estate boasts complete control over the production chain, guaranteeing a high-quality wine, on par with its great neighbors in the Médoc.
