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 | "A firm and tight red with blackberries, crushed stones, ink and iodine. Medium-bodied with medium tannins that are polished and very pretty. Refined and delicious. Always an excellent value. Drinkable now, but will age nicely." - James Suckling "90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. Black core with purple rim. Dark and charry on the nose. Intense fruit sweetness contrasting with crisp acidity, slightly sweet-sour at the moment. Needs time to mesh further. Chewy, compact tannins. Embryonic. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 d'Aiguilhe is plump, juicy and super-expressive. At the same time, it has plenty of energy and the underlying structure to support a number of years in the cellar. Bright chalky notes extend the finish." - Vinous "Fresh and tightly focused, with a racy beam of red and black cherry fruit laced with violet and rose petal accents on the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2034." - Wine Spectator "Rich and intense nose, concentrated with dark bramble fruits. A shot of sharp intense strawberry and raspberry fruit hits the palate, super succulent and instantly mouthwatering, quite lean and linear though there is a nice expansion of fruit flavours while the tannins stay quite firm and straight. Touching on austere and severe but the softly plump juiciness keeps this enjoyable and there is layering of elements. Acidity is on the prominent side but this is quite captivating with crunchy, bright, just-ripe red fruits and chalky texture on the finish. Yield: 35 hl/ha. 30% new oak barrels." - Decanter |
