Château d'Aigueville Massif d'Uchaux
Red wine | Massif d’Uchaux AOP
A paradise for vines… and enlightened amateurs!
In this Mediterranean climate, punctuated by the mistral, Château d'Aigueville - ''the city of water'' - is fortunate to have an underground spring, which helps produce balanced grapes. This great vintage from the estate shows it well, with its aromas of blueberry and blackberry, rose and garrigue, a lovely complexity that we find on a generous palate, while remaining elegant and fine. A red wine that will keep well, if you can resist!
