Château Argadens, Bordeaux Supérieur, Bordeaux, France, 2015

A fine Bordeaux Supérieur which is very much on the up. Argadens was purchased by the Sichel family (owners of Château Angludet) in 2002, and renamed after the noble family who founded the estate back in the 13th century. Situated 60km south of Bordeaux, a major programme of investment is transforming this property. Rich, ripe, dark blackberry fruits and 12 months in oak show the potential here.
