A good value, classic claret from a great 2018 vintage. Chateau Argenteyre is a 27 hectare vineyard, the hidden gem of its appellation. Owned by passionate viticulturalists, Philippe and Giles Reich, whose painstaking tending of the vines and careful vinification, allow this outstanding terroir to full express itself.
A beautiful deep ruby colour, with aromas of blackberry and blueberry alongside toasty, fruity and spicy notes. Well rounded with firm structure and balance, typical of the appellation and from an exceptional vintage. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months – this is perfect for drinking now, has a few more years ahead of it, and is a fantastic price – don’t miss out!
