About this wine

Château d'Aiguilhe is a wine that proves you don't need to spend a fortune to find something genuinely interesting. This 2021 from Côtes de Castillon captures the essence of what makes the right bank of Bordeaux so compelling: balance, character, and the kind of depth that makes you want another glass.

The blend of cabernet franc and merlot gives this wine a lovely freshness. You'll find red fruit notes, a touch of herbs, and that subtle earthiness that comes from the terroir. There's a nice structure here, nothing heavy, just a wine that feels complete and well-made.

Serve this at around 16 degrees with a good burgundy glass, and give it a few minutes to breathe. It pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef stews, or even a well-prepared duck. If you're thinking simpler, it works wonderfully with hearty pasta dishes or grilled meats. This is the kind of wine that fits into your everyday life without demanding attention, yet rewards you when you actually pay it some.
