Over het wijnhuis | Château d'Aiguilhe ligt in AOC Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux, een appellatie ten oosten van Saint-Émilion. Het is gelegen op de grens tussen de gebieden die door de Fransen en Engelsen werden bezet tijdens de Honderdjarige Oorlog. Vandaag de dag is Château d'Aiguilhe in handen van Stephan von Neipperg, die het landgoed in 1998 kocht. |

Awards | "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 d'Aiguilhe jumps up out of the glass with exuberant notes of plum preserves, Black Forest cake and blackberry pie, plus hints of potpourri, hoisin and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate has a soft texture and oodles of freshness supporting the mouth-coating black fruit preserves, finishing with loads of exotic spice layers." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "The purity of fruit to this is really attractive with blue fruit, blackberries and flowers on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with fine tannins, a solid core of fruit and a long, attractive finish. Drink in 2022 and onwards. - James Suckling "80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Extremely deep crimson. Notes of purple! Polished, slightly raw fruit. Very dramatic! Sweet and round with the fruit almost obliterating the tannin. A real statement. This could be useful for relatively early drinking even if it’s not that subtle. Dry finish and just that slightly green undertow." - Jancis Robinson "The 2018 d'Aiguilhe offers up a compelling mélange of inky red/purplish fruit and plenty of structure to match. It is impressive in its peer group, but also needs quite a bit of time to be at its best. The 2018 is not quite as showy as it was en primeur, and yet its energy and depth are intriguing." - Vinous "Under the same ownership as Canon la Gaffelière in Saint-Emilion, this estate has produced a powerfully rich wine, with tannins cushioned by dense black-plum flavors. Rich in structure and driven by fruit, the wine will age well. Drink from 2023." - Wine Enthusiast "Austere, textbook limestone flavours given a plump mid palate by damson and black cherry fruits. Owned by Stephan von Neipperg. Drinking Window 2023 - 2036" - Decanter |
