Famille Sichel Château Argadens Sauvignon - Sémillon 2014
Bordeaux, FranceParts of the Château Argadens estate date back to the 12th century. When Maison Sichel purchased the historic site in 2002 they invented heavily, to produce wines that represented these clay-limestone rolling hills, and the highest point in the Entre-Deux-Mers. A classic blend of sauvignon blanc and sémillon, with the former seeing some skin contact, before both are fermented in new oak barrels with bâtonnage. The fermented wines spend a few months on the lees before they are vatted and blended. Wines like this benefit from some bottle age. At this stage, this is showing medicinal charged lemon, fresh cut hedgerow, and ample sharp white grapefruit. Potently concentrated, with a quickly moving stream of acidity to power this full bodied white forward, this benefits from being open, or pairing with a flavourful pork cutlet or herb-dressed turkey.Tasted: 23 March 2017Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $17.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
