Chateau Argadens Blanc is a beautifully crafted white wine from the prestigious Bordeaux region of France. The estate, located on the rolling hills of Entre-Deux-Mers, dates back to the 13th century, a history rich in wine-making tradition. Chateau Argadens, now owned by the Sichel family, is known for producing exceptional wines that represent the best of modern Bordeaux.
This crisp, refreshing white wine is made from a classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc (65%), Sémillon (30%), and a touch of Muscadelle (5%), grapes that thrive in the limestone and clay soils of the region. The grapes are carefully harvested to preserve their freshness, resulting in a wine that expresses the vibrancy and elegance Bordeaux is famous for.
Chateau Argadens Blanc is fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to enhance its crisp, clean profile. This meticulous process captures the delicate aromas and flavours, delivering a wine that is both elegant and refreshing.
