Chateau d'Aiguilhe 2016 layers ripe dark berries and plum with subtle floral tones, cocoa and gentle spice, carried on a medium-bodied frame that feels both driven and supple. Fine, firm tannins and a fresh, mineral-edged finish give this vintage a particularly precise, energetic profile that promises further complexity with time in bottle.

Château d’Aiguilhe is a Merlot-dominant red from Castillon–Côtes de Bordeaux on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, produced by Comtes von Neipperg from old vines rooted in high, clay-limestone plateau soils. The wine typically combines ripe dark fruit and spice with notable freshness, fine, ripe tannins, and a mineral edge that reflects its limestone terroir, making it both approachable in youth and capable of several years’ graceful evolution.
