Chateau d'Aiguilhe Castillon Cotes de Bodeaux 2023

Château d’Aiguilhe Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux 2023 is a polished right-bank Bordeaux that combines the plush generosity of Merlot with the lift and structure of Cabernet Franc. Sourced from one of Castillon’s most respected estates, it offers a contemporary take on classic Bordeaux craftsmanship, with a pedigree rooted in one of the region’s most historic appellations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color with bright purple reflections. The nose is expressive and refined, opening with ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, followed by hints of violet, graphite, cedar, and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, smooth, and well-balanced, with supple tannins and fresh acidity giving shape to the fruit. Notes of dark berries, cocoa, and crushed herbs lead to a long, elegant finish. While already appealing in its youth, it should develop additional complexity over the next 5 to 10 years.

Production
Château d’Aiguilhe is located in Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, on the limestone and clay-rich slopes of Bordeaux’s right bank, where the soils lend freshness, minerality, and structure to the wines. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc is typically harvested with care to preserve ripeness and balance, then vinified using traditional Bordeaux methods that aim to highlight purity of fruit and finesse of texture.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or mushroom-based dishes, as well as hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if drinking now to help the aromas open fully.
