About the domain :
Stephan von Neipperg, who has just restored the château, is ready for a new battle of Castillon, in a vigorous, deep and unctuous style.

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Estate rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
The success of this estate, unique in the Côtes de Bordeaux region, has continued with each passing vintage. In addition to the estate's own vineyards, leases have been added and almost 100 hectares are vinified under the Château d'Aiguilhe name. This is one of the few brands on the Right Bank that is making a name for itself with its substantial volumes, and can now compete with a number of Médoc and Graves crus. This success is due to the expertise of the duo of Stephan von Neipperg and Stéphane Derenoncourt (also owner of Domaine de L'A in the same appellation), who are also renowned at Château Canon-La-Gaffelière, Clos de L'Oratoire and La Mondotte in Saint-Émilion, the von Neipperg family's other properties.
