2019 Chateau d’Aiguilhe Cotes de Castillon

Pro Reviews

Wine Advocate (WA)

A terrific effort from this large and immaculately maintained property on the clay-limestone slopes of the Cotes de Castillon, the 2019 d’Aiguilhe exhibits aromas of cherries and cassis mingled with notions of burning embers, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a mineral finish, it’s intelligently matured in tank and large-format oak as well as small barriques. – 21/03/2022

I like the blue fruit to this with violet and wet-earth undertones to the currants. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fruity finish. – June 3, 2020

The 2019 d’Aiguilhe is classy and understated to the core. Floral and citrus notes perk up the red berry fruit nicely, adding a good bit of freshness as well as verve. Quite surprisingly for the year, d’Aiguilhe is pretty tightly wound and in no mood to show all of its cards. Even so, there is good depth and plenty of promise. – Antonio Galloni – 18/06/2020
