The Château is located in Saint-André-du-Bois, 60 km south of the city of Bordeaux. It was originally a feudal castle, built in the 12th century and known for four centuries as La Salle d’Argadens. The castle itself is still in existence and was listed as one of the architectural treasures of the region in the 19th century by the Aquitane artist Léo Drouyn. It is one of the last remaining examples of a fortified residence in the region.
In 2002, the Sichel family purchased the property and renamed it Château Argadens, in reference to the noble family that originally built the estate. At this time, a major investment program was launched to restructure the vineyard, increase plantation density, modernize the winery and build an aging cellar. These efforts ensure that the quality of the terroir is expressed in full through the greatest precision and care.
