Château d'Aiguilhe
Red wine | Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux AOC
A coat of arms synonymous with quality!
Château d'Aiguilhe is still one of the sure values of Côtes de Castillon, east of St-Émilion. The name of the Counts of Neipperg is also associated with a true respect for the terroir, especially since their many properties have gone organic. This 2018 vintage displays a very ripe style, on fig and plum. It is dense, with a beautiful structure and mineral tension which promise it a radiant future!
