A rich and elegant Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux red wine
The estate
Château d'Aiguilhe is now one of the finest vineyards in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank. In a region marked by the Hundred Years' War, this former fortified farm dating back to the 13th century played a military role. Now entirely devoted to winegrowing, the estate has belonged to the Comtes Von Neipperg vineyards since 1998.
The vineyard
Château d'Aiguilhe 2022 is a Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux wine produced from a 90-hectare vineyard in the heart of the appellation. The vineyards are located exclusively on clay-limestone and clay-silt soils.
Winemaking and ageing
Vinification in wooden and concrete vats. Extraction by pneumatic punching down. Vatting for 32 days. Aged on fine lees in barrels (30% new).
Blend
Château d'Aiguilhe 2022 is a blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
