Team Review
This Saint-Estèphe boasts a deep purple color and a subtle nose blending woody notes with black and red fruits, as well as a hint of maturity. On the palate, the wood dominates the fruit, with fine tannins and well-balanced acidity, resulting in a flavorful and harmonious whole. Ideal for pairing with flavorful red meats such as lamb, pigeon, or ostrich, this wine will be enjoyable to drink through 2026.

The King's Argilus

The King's Argilus

Bordeaux | France

L'Argilus du Roi is one of the smallest châteaux in the Saint-Estèphe appellation: just 5 hectares, a few thousand bottles per year, and a single, meticulously crafted grand vin. Taken over in 2010 by Martial Mignet, a passionate winemaker, the estate embodies a long-term vision that combines respect for Bordeaux tradition with modern technical precision.

Grown on soil typical of Saint-Estèphe—gravel, pebbles, and sand near the Gironde River—the estate prides itself on having complete control over the production process. A classic and meticulous interpretation of the appellation, resulting in a wine whose quality rivals that of its illustrious neighbors in the Médoc.
