Weinwisser 
88 % Merlot, 12 % Cabernet Franc, 56 hl/ha. Sattes Purpur mit rubinrotem Rand. Komplexes würziges Bouquet mit reifen Pflaumen, Kardamom und Szechuan-Pfeffer, dahinter Holundergelee. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit engmaschigem Tanningerüst und fleischigem Extrakt, man spürt die ungestüme Kraft, die hier schlummert. Im gebündelten Finale kleine schwarze Beeren, Pfefferschoten und Brasiltabak, endet mit zarter Adstringenz. Auf dem gleichen Niveau wie im Vorjahr, mit einem Tick mehr Eleganz!

The 2019 d'Aiguilhe was picked from 19 September to 5 October and matured in 30% new oak. This has a beautiful, very pure bouquet, demonstrating more precision than the Clos Marsalette alongside. The palate has a spring in its step with fresh red berry fruit, cedar, mint and a citric twist right on the finish. What a delicious d'Aiguilhe, even if I still cannot pronounce its name. 

Wine Advocate 
A terrific effort from this large and immaculately maintained property on the clay-limestone slopes of the Côtes de Castillon, the 2019 d'Aiguilhe exhibits aromas of cherries and cassis mingled with notions of burning embers, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a mineral finish, it's intelligently matured in tank and large-format oak as well as small barriques. 

James Suckling 
Aromas of ripe blackberries, grilled plums, tobacco and dark chocolate. It’s medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Compact and structured. Drink after 2024.
