This is a delicious Medoc with the characteristic aromas of cassis and cherry and a hint of vanilla due to the aging in oak barrels. It consists of equal parts cabernet sauvignon and merlot, supplemented with a little petit verdot and carmenere. The wine is quite powerful and its structure firm and therefore at its best with food. Philippe and Gilles Reich, the owners of this house, like their wine best in combination with a mushroom omelette or a beef stew with red wine. L'Argenteyre is a Cru Bourgeois. A wine deserves this beautiful designation if it scores above average on terroir, winemaking technique and quality control. This classification for high quality wines counts around 25 chateaus and has been revised every year since 28. Chateau l'Argenteyre passes the cru bourgeois inspection effortlessly and neatly year after year.
