The property
Château d'Aiguilhe is today one of the most beautiful vineyards of the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux. This region marked by the Hundred Years' War did not fail to give a military role to this former fortified farm of the 13th century. Today, the property is entirely dedicated to wine growing and has belonged to the Comtes Von Neipperg vineyards since 1998.
The vineyard
The vineyards of Château d'Aiguilhe cover nearly 90 hectares in the heart of the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. The vineyard is exclusively located on clayey-limestone and clayey-silt soil.
Vinification and maturation
Vinification in wooden and concrete vats. Extraction by pneumatic pigeage. Vatting time of 40 days. The wine is aged on fine lees in French oak barrels (30% of which are new).
Blending
Château d'Aiguilhe 2020 is a blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
