Our opinion on the vintage
L'Argilus du Roi
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.
