Producer Information

Château d’Aiguilhe is a wine estate in the commune of Saint-Philippe-d’Aiguille, in the Côtes de Bordeaux Castillon appellation some 10km (six miles) east of Saint-Emilion, in northern Bordeaux. It is owned by Stephan von Neipperg, a prominent winemaker in the region, best known for running the well-regarded châteaux of Canon La Gaffelière and La Mondotte in Saint-Emilion. For its part, Château d’Aiguilhe has a history dating back to the 1700s, when it was owned by the Leberthon family, but it was not until the late 20th Century that the estate was replanted, renovated, and renamed from La Fleur d’Aiguilhe to its current name by von Neipperg (who acquired the estate in 1998). Château d’Aiguilhe produces a Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend, a second wine called Seigneurs d’Aiguilhe, and a white Bordeaux wine from Sauvignon Blanc.
