Chateau Le Rey, Les Argileuses, 2022
A refreshing departure from traditional oak-aged Bordeaux, Les Argileuses showcases the terroir philosophy of Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux. This 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc blend is aged entirely in stainless steel, drawing its character from the vineyard's distinctive green and blue clay soils. The result is a wine of surprising purity and depth—medium-bodied with intense licorice and blackberry flavors, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable freshness. Perfect for those seeking a more elegant, mineral-driven expression than heavily oaked Bordeaux, it drinks beautifully now but will reward cellaring through 2035.
