Overview

• Château d’Aiguilhe is a wine producer located in the Côtes de Bordeaux Castillon appellation. The château has a history dating back to the 1700s when it was owned by the Leberthon family, but it was not until the late 20th Century that the estate was replanted, renovated, and renamed from La Fleur d’Aiguilhe to its current name by owner Stephan von Neipperg. The estate produces a Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend, a second wine called Seigneurs d’Aiguilhe, and a white Bordeaux wine from Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes:

• The wine brings a rich, seductive ruby red color that comes from ripe fruit, with a sweet flavor. The smooth, plump tannin texture coupled with licorice notes, bold cocoa, and black cherries create a delightful finish. Besides, you can also feel the aromas of espresso, chocolate and blackberry spread and subtle.

Food Pairing

• Red meats ( beef, lamb, venison,…)
• Grilled meats
