Chateau d'Aiguilhe 2019 layers ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit with hints of plum, cocoa, tobacco leaf and gentle spice, all carried by lively acidity and a subtle chalky, mineral edge. Medium to full in body with fine, powdery tannins, it feels concentrated yet poised, finishing long and fresh rather than heavy.

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.
