Chateau d'Aiguilhe Castillon Cotes De Bordeaux

Château d'Aiguilhe's 2013 Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux exemplifies the refined, food-friendly character of this emerging Right Bank appellation. A classic Bordeaux blend dominated by Merlot with supporting Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine displays medium-full body and balanced tannin structure. On the nose, ripe red plum and black cherry lead, with secondary cedar and herbaceous notes adding complexity. The palate reveals cassis, subtle oak integration, and a mineral graphite finish that speaks to the region's clay-limestone terroir. Approachable in youth yet structured for moderate cellaring.
