Château d’Aiguilhe: Right Bank Power, Exceptional Value

Under the ownership of the renowned Comtes von Neipperg (also of Canon La Gaffelière), Château d’Aiguilhe is a standout performer in the Castillon – Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. This estate, with its historic 13th-century fortress, leverages a prime clay-limestone plateau to produce a wine that rivals its more famous Saint-Émilion neighbors. It’s a must-have for any serious collector looking for quality and pedigree on the Right Bank.

Tasting Profile

• **Color:** Deep, intense garnet with purple hues.
• **Nose:** A sophisticated and complex bouquet of ripe black fruits (black cherry, plum) layered with attractive notes of fine leather, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness from oak aging.
• **Palate:** The wine is round and full-bodied on entry, showcasing rich, concentrated fruit. Solid, yet beautifully polished tannins provide structure, balanced by a refreshing minerality that drives a long, harmonious, and elegant finish.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Decant for 60-90 minutes before serving at 60-63°F (15-17°C). This is a powerful Bordeaux that demands a hearty protein pairing.
