| The Sichel family, who also own Château d'Angludet, acquired Château d'Argadens in 2002 and since then have produced excellent wines at this estate. This 2016 Blanc blends 65% Sauvignon Blanc with 35% Semillon, lending grassy overtones to the gooseberry and pear fruit. Enjoy, lightly chilled, as an aperitif or with bouillabaisse. |
