Notes: 14% alc., Seigneurs d'Aiguilhe is the second wine of Château d'Aiguilhe,
Description: The Chateau dates from the 13th century and was acquired by Stephan von Neipperg in late 1998. Château d’Aiguilhe is one of the finest and most beautiful vineyards in the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. The vines grow exclusively on the plateau, where they benefit from south-facing sun exposure and excellent natural drainage. A thin layer of clay-limestone and clay-silt topsoil overlays a limestone substratum that ensures remarkable water regulation. Combined with the average age of the vines, this terroir is ideal for producing quality, terroir-driven wine.
