Winemaker and Vineyard: Château d'Aiguilhe is a beautiful 140-hectare property, with 90 hectares dedicated to vines. Located on the border of the Saint-Emilion and Castillon regions, the vineyard is on a high plateau and benefits from excellent southern exposure. The soil is primarily clay-limestone, which aids natural drainage and allows the vines to root deeply into the limestone subsoil. The property is currently held by Stephan von Neipperg, who took over the property in 1998 and has since made significant investments to improve both the vineyard and the winemaking facilities.
Tasting: A terrific effort from this large and immaculately maintained property on the clay-limestone slopes of the Côtes de Castillon, the 2019 d'Aiguilhe exhibits aromas of cherries and cassis mingled with notions of burning embers, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a mineral finish, it's intelligently matured in tank and large-format oak as well as small barriques.
