Château d' Aiguilhe 與 Saint-Emilion知名頂級酒莊Château La Mondotte、Château Canon La Gaffelière、Clos de l'Oratoire 同屬 Comte von Neipperg家族，位於Côtes de Castillon和Saint Emilion之間的山坡上，可俯視Dordogne河的右岸，是波爾多最古老的酒莊之一。
Chateau d'Aiguilhe現在的莊園建立於13世紀，它實際上是一個擁有防禦工事的農業園。英法百年戰爭時期，酒莊的領地恰好位於當時英法兩國佔領區的邊界處，因其在戰爭中扮演著重要的角色而被兩國交替控制。之後的漫長歲月裏，Chateau d'Aiguilhe又幾經易手，最終由Stephan Von Neipperg於1998年12月收購。
Chateau d'Aiguilhe的葡萄園分佈於Dordogne River右岸，這裏也是Cotes de Castillon和St. Emilion產區的分界線。葡萄園面積為140公頃，其中葡萄種植面積為90公頃。葡萄園在朝南的山坡高處，日照充分，排水性好。葡萄園中的土壤上層為石灰質黏土和砂礫，薄而貧瘠，土壤下層為石灰岩。此外，土壤中富含礦物質，賦予了產區葡萄酒細膩的口感與強勁的酒力，和諧完美。葡萄園種植的葡萄品種有80%為Merlot，20%為Cabernet Franc，葡萄樹的平均樹齡為28年。
在葡萄成熟的季節，葡萄園採用人工的方式採摘葡萄，然後用小筐將葡萄分裝運回酒莊，對葡萄進行分揀、去梗，再次分揀，在這個過程中儘量保持葡萄完好不破皮。酒莊根據葡萄採摘年份的不同，會將葡萄放入裝有溫控系統的木質酒槽中發酵25~30天，並採用壓冒的方式溫和萃取葡萄皮中的風味物質。釀制出的葡萄酒貯存在橡木桶中進行蘋果酸乳酸發酵和熟成，熟成時間為15~20個月。酒莊會依據需要對葡萄酒進行澄清和過濾。
Chateau d'Aiguilhe推出的葡萄酒為波爾多紅葡萄混釀。Stephan Von Neipperg對這款酒的評價是，“這款葡萄酒果香濃郁，口感強勁，充滿活力，在反映產區風土方面表現出色，因其獨具特色而受愛酒人士歡迎”。

The purity of fruit to this is really attractive with blue fruit, blackberries and flowers on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with fine tannins, a solid core of fruit and a long, attractive finish. Drink in 2022 and onwards.

Under the same ownership as Canon la Gaffelière in Saint-Emilion, this estate has produced a powerfully rich wine, with tannins cushioned by dense black-plum flavors. Rich in structure and driven by fruit, the wine will age well.

The 2018 d'Aiguilhe offers up a compelling melange of inky red/purplish fruit and plenty of structure to match. It is impressive in its peer group, but also needs quite a bit of time to be at its best. The 2018 is not quite as showy as it was en primeur, and yet its energy and depth are intriguing.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 d'Aiguilhe jumps up out of the glass with exuberant notes of plum preserves, Black Forest cake and blackberry pie, plus hints of potpourri, hoisin and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate has a soft texture and oodles of freshness supporting the mouth-coating black fruit preserves, finishing with loads of exotic spice layers.
