Winemaker and Vineyard: Acquired by Stephan von Neipperg at the end of 1998, Château d'Aiguilhe embodies one of the most beautiful vineyards in the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux. Set back inland, its proud ruins bear witness to a long history. The current chateau, which is actually a fortified agricultural operation, dates from the 13th century. In the Middle Ages, everything suggests that the lordship of Aiguilhe commanded a vast territory and possessed several important fiefs. Located on the border of the areas occupied by the French and English during the Hundred Years War, it played an active military role, passing into the hands of one and the other according to the lord of the place's loyalties. Subsequently, the castle belonged to the Leberthon family, a famous lineage of Bordeaux parliamentarians. These, before emigrating on the eve of the Revolution, sold it to a certain Etienne Martineau who turned it into a vast 400-hectare estate in one piece, from which the heirs did not part until 1920. Today, the estate occupies a vast terroir of 140 hectares, 90 of which are devoted to viticulture. The vineyard, exclusively located on the plateau, benefits from natural drainage and excellent sunshine thanks to a global southern exposure. The soils, of clay-limestone and clay-loam structure, make up a thin layer of rather poor land resting on a limestone substrate that ensures remarkable water regulation for the vine. Added to the average age of the vineyard, these natural data combine to create eminently favourable conditions for vine cultivation.
Tasting
: The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 d'Aiguilhe gives up wonderfully expressive warm red and black plums, black cherries and spice box on the nose with touches of dried flowers and fallen leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate has generous fruit with plush tannins and loads of freshness - robertparker.com (02.17.2018).
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a Dauphinois gratin.
