The 2018 d'Aiguilhe is fabulous. Rich and ample to the core, the 2018 bursts from the glass with striking intensity. Super-ripe red and purplish berry fruit, lavender and rose petals are some of the many nuances that flesh out in the glass. This sumptuous, flamboyant Côtes de Castillon is a real stunner. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Fruité assez mûr, expressif, abricoté, sur les fruits rouges confits. Entrée en bouche corsée, vin droit et présentant un grain ''calcaire'' traçant. Un vrai cru de terroir, une référence.

A sleeper in the vintage, the 2018 Château d'Aiguilhe comes from the talented team of Canon-La-Gaffelière. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from the limestone soils of the Castillon region, still aging in 20% new oak, it has impressive cassis and black raspberry fruits intermixed with notions of crushed rocks, spice, and spring flowers. Pure, medium to full-bodied, with both sweet fruit and integrated acidity, it’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate yet keep for 10-15 years or more. It’s going to be a smoking value!

Deeply colored, the wine is loaded with licorice, flowers, truffle, blackberry and plum on the nose. On the palate, the wine is rich, supple, round and fleshy, with freshness and density on the palate. There is purity in the fruit and length in the finish which provides you with sensuous red pit fruits, silky tannins, licorice, cherries, cocoa and crushed rock sensations. The harvest took place September 18 to October 5.
