Chateau d’Aiguilhe Cotes de Castillon 2010
93 Points (Tasted June, 2025) – Jeb Dunnuck, 93 Points, James Suckling – 92 Points, Wine Spectator
The 2010 Château d’Aiguilhe is a magnificent Right Bank Bordeaux, that is just hitting its stride beautifully right now. It greets the senses with a complex, inviting nose, revealing layers of red and black fruits, complemented by bramble earth and some more floral nuances. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is remarkably lively and beautifully balanced, offering a “super silky” texture on the mouthfeel. You’ll find a seamless mix of blue and black fruit intertwined with notes of melted licorice and warm fruitcake. Dunnuck just tasted this in June of 2025 and came it at 93 points arguing that this beauty still has “another decade” of premium tasting.
Original price was: $60.00.$45.00Current price is: $45.00.

“The 2010 Chateau D’Aiguilhe is beautiful, with a complex nuanced nose of red and black fruits as well as truffly earth, leather, and savory flowers. Medium-bodied, lively, and beautifully balanced, it’s drinking on point right now yet still has another decade. Drink 2025-2035.”

This is so good already. What an amazing precision of fruit for this wine, with a blackberry and blueberry character as well as minerals. Full and super silky with lovely fruit. Gourmand. Tasty. I want to drink it. Always great value!

Very lush and expressive, with caressing plum sauce, mulled blueberry and blackberry fruit and melted licorice and warm fruitcake flavors, all gliding together through the finish. Offers lovely range and a seductive mouthfeel.
Château d’Aiguilhe, nestled on the eastern fringes of Bordeaux in the Côtes de Castillon, exudes an irresistible allure, a testament to the masterful touch of Stephan von Neipperg (Canon La Gaffeliere).
This estate, benefiting from a superb clay-limestone terroir akin to its more famous Saint-Émilion neighbors, crafts wines that are both intensely seductive and elegantly powerful. A blend typically dominated by Merlot, with a significant embrace of Cabernet Franc, d’Aiguilhe’s reds whisper promises of dark, plush fruit, velvety textures, and an intoxicating complexity that belies its appellation.
These are wines that invite exploration, revealing layers of ripe cherry, cassis, and a subtle earthiness, often kissed with hints of spice. Each sip offers a luxurious experience, a sophisticated dance of richness and refinement that lingers forever on the palate. This is Right Bank value at its finest.
