Chateau d'Aiguilhe Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2014 i trækasse

"93 points. Great value for the quality.” - James Suckling

Næsten 10 år gammel skatkammervin leveret i originale 6-stk trækasser!

Højrebreddens bedste rødvinskøb? Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux ligger i direkte østlig forlængelse af St-Émillion. Trods samme kalkholdige jordbund og samme dominans af Merlot fremstår rødvinene alt for ofte anderledes rustikke end hos den berømte nabo. D’Aiguilhe er en vigtig undtagelse.

Grevefamilien von Neipperg har siden overtagelsen i 1989 investeret en formue i genplantninger, restaureringer samt opførelse af et topmoderne, cirkulært vineri. Vinificeringen er blevet langt mere fintfølende end tidligere. Stephan von Neipperg er bevidst om at undgå overekstraherede, tanninbitre rødvine. I stedet satses på en herlig parfumeret, nærmest legende frugtig rødvinsstil med nøje afstemt fadkrydderi.

Anmeldelser af Château d’Aiguilhe Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux 2014

93/100 James Suckling ”Fascinating aromas of dark fruit, smoke and dried flowers. The palate is full and juicy yet still delivers a solid and polished tannin structure as well as a good backbone of acidity, which adds depth and definition. Solid wine. Great value for the quality.”

91/100 Robert Parker ” The 2014 d'Aiguilhe has a wonderful, quite detailed bouquet with black cherries, melted tar, minerals and a touch of sea spray. The palate is well balanced with supple red and black fruit, well-judged acidity, very feminine and lithe in the mouth with a caressing and very pure finish. This is just a sublime d'Aiguilhe that will give several years of drinking pleasure.”

91/100 Wine Spectator "This has an ample core of lively plum, blackberry and anise notes that is silky in feel, but has heft and persistence. The finish pulls in a singed apple wood note, but the purity of fruit wins out easily overall. "

91/100 Wine Enthusiast "Stephan von Neipperg of Château Canon la Gaffelière was an early proponent of Castillon vineyard potential and chose this property which is on the same ridge as Saint-Emilion. Fruity and ripe, this is a generous wine. Finely structured tannins back up the black-currant fruits and give the wine a texture that bodes well for the future. "
