Enquire about availabilityTasting notes
The 2016 Chateau d'Aiguilhe is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc picked from 30 September until 18 October, matured in 30% new oak. It has a warm and sensual bouquet: small macerated black cherries, blueberry and sloes, a light floral tincture emerging with time. This has a little more strictness compared to the 2015 last year. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and good body. Sappy black fruit, a touch of spice towards the finish, and you have yourself a very fine Côtes de Castillon.

About this wine
Château d'Aiguilhe produces elegant red wines from the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, a distinguished region east of the city of Bordeaux known for excellent-value Cabernet Franc and Merlot blends. The estate combines traditional winemaking with careful vineyard management to craft wines that express the character of their terroir while delivering consistent quality and approachability.
This red wine blends Cabernet Franc and Merlot to create a medium-bodied expression with warming spice, dark black fruit notes, and subtle floral characteristics. At 14.5% ABV, it offers structure and depth without excessive heaviness, making it a versatile choice for the table. The wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef dishes, duck, and aged cheeses, while also standing alone as an aperitif wine for discerning palates.
