Château d'Aiguilhe
Stephan von Neipperg's Saint-Emilion estates have received praise from around the world for their excellent quality. von Neipperg has also decided to leave his mark on Château d'Aiguilhe, one of the finest vineyards in the Côtes de Castillon.
Château d'Aiguilhe has 65 hectares, of which 42 are devoted to producing wine. The vineyards are planted on the upper part of the slopes and thus have excellent natural drainage and sun exposure.
The estate is expertly managed by Jean-Patrick Meyrignac. It benefits from the tried and tested winegrowing methods used by Stephan von Neipperg at his Saint-Emilion estates: letting the terroir express itself fully, low yields and a very flexible approach to winemaking.

D'Aiguilhe's impressively made 2004 offers a deep ruby/purple color as well as notes of creosote, creme de cassis, smoke, forest floor, and incense. Deep, layered, and moderately tannic, with crisp acidity, it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age, and should last for a decade.

KosherA Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw CapMany studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green WinesWines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
CollectibleThese wines will improve from additional bottle age, when properly stored, and may show the greatest potential to increase in value.
Great Wine GiftsThese selected wines make impressionable gifts for wine enthusiasts and oenophiles alike.
Boutique WinesThese wines are made in limited quantities and are typically produced from single vineyard sources or made by small, artisanal wineries. While the winery may produce larger quantities, we limit wines with this designation to a 1,000 case production.
