STORY BEHIND THE WINE

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. Now entirely devoted to winegrowing, the estate has belonged to the Comtes Von Neipperg vineyards since 1998.
