The Noble Second Wine of Château d’Aiguilhe: SEIGNEURS D’AIGUILHE
SEIGNEURS D’AIGUILHE is the vibrant second wine of the esteemed Château d’Aiguilhe, a jewel in the portfolio of the Comtes von Neipperg Vineyards. Sourced from the same exceptional clay-limestone terroir in Castillon – Côtes de Bordeaux, this wine offers a more immediate, fruit-forward, and accessible taste of the Right Bank’s luxury profile.
Crafted predominantly from Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc, it benefits from the same world-class winemaking rigor as the Grand Vin. It’s a structured, yet smoothly approachable bottle that delivers outstanding value and classic Bordeaux character-perfect for the modern cellar.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Deep, brilliant garnet red.
- Nose: An intense and welcoming bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackberry, cassis), layered with hints of mocha, vanilla, and fine spice from its careful oak aging.
- Palate: The entry is round and fleshy. The mid-palate shows a beautiful, structured core with soft, velvety tannins. The finish is fresh, fruity, and long-lasting, inviting another glass.
Pairing & Serving
This wine is a superb partner for grilled meats, gourmet burgers, or classic American comfort food. Decant briefly and serve at 62-64°F (16-18°C) for optimal enjoyment.
