It is owned by Stephan von Neipperg, a prominent winemaker in the region, best known for running the well-regarded châteaux of Canon La Gaffelière and La Mondotte in Saint-Emilion. For its part, Château d'Aiguilhe 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 von Neipperg (who acquired the estate in 1998). Château d'Aiguilhe produces a Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend, a second wine called Seigneurs d'Aiguilhe, and a white Bordeaux wine from Sauvignon Blanc. The grounds span 140 hectares (300 acres) with 90 hectares (220 acres) of vines. These are composed of 80 percent Merlot and 20 percent Cabernet Franc. The vineyard soil is composed of clay-limestone and clay-loam, with vines averaging 28 years old. Vines are planted exclusively on the upper hills of the property, which is located on the highest hill along the Right Bank of the Dordogne. Grapes are handpicked and sorted before and after destemming. The fruit is fermented in oak vats and cement tanks with maceration lasting 28 days. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation in barrel and ages on fine lees in 50 percent new French oak barrels. Production averages 9000 to 10,000 cases annually.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-04-13T10:41:35-04:00","created_at":"2023-04-07T06:25:42-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","nini0704","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Château d'Aiguilhe","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Continental0423","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":12295,"price_min":12295,"price_max":12295,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42888397881482,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Château d'Aiguilhe | Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":12295,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/20_95a8c31a-894a-4ceb-a4c2-b440bd01bca7.png?v=1680863219"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/20_95a8c31a-894a-4ceb-a4c2-b440bd01bca7.png?v=1680863219","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":" 2016 | Château d'Aiguilhe | Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux at CaskCartel.com","id":24511246598282,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.415,"height":656,"width":272,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/20_95a8c31a-894a-4ceb-a4c2-b440bd01bca7.png?v=1680863219"},"aspect_ratio":0.415,"height":656,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/20_95a8c31a-894a-4ceb-a4c2-b440bd01bca7.png?v=1680863219","width":272}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2016 | Château d'Aiguilhe | Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep colour offers ripe, lush, sweet, dark red fruits, silky textures with a blast of licorice, dark cocoa and black cherries in the finish.
