92/100 and a favorite from RVF. Argile is the "small" cuvée of what is perhaps the greatest domaine in Savoie. Decanting is essential (the wine is protected against oxidation by a slight CO2, in order to minimize sulfites).

Comments on this

Domaine des Ardoisières "Argile" red 2021:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (August 2023): 92/100. "Finesse, brilliance, and great originality, all in a deeply Savoyard spirit: the 2021s from Brice Omont delight us. A success that bodes well for the future of the domaine. After a questionable 2020 vintage, Argile red admirably corrects the course, distilling a very fine, lively, suggestive, fragrant fruit, bramble and peppermint... delicious!"

We recommend decanting this wine 1 to 2 hours before tasting
