Château d'Aiguilhe 2023

The refinement and smoothness of a Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux red wine

The estate

The 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 assign a military role to this former fortified agricultural estate from the 13th century. Today entirely dedicated to viticulture, the estate has belonged to the Comtes Von Neipperg vineyards since 1998.
