Chateau d'Aiguilhe 2022

A rich and elegant Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux red wine

The estate

Château d'Aiguilhe is now one of the finest vineyards in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank. In a region marked by the Hundred Years' War, this former fortified farm dating back to the 13th century played a military role.
