Rated estate (2019 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

This estate enjoys a unique success in the Côtes de Bordeaux region, a success that has remained consistent across vintages. In addition to its own vineyards, the estate includes leased plots, and nearly 100 hectares are vinified under the name Château d'Aiguilhe. This is one of the few labels on the right bank that stands out for its substantial production volumes and can claim to rival certain wines from the Médoc or Graves. This success is owed to the expertise of the duo formed by Stephan von Neipperg and Stéphane Derenoncourt (also owner of Domaine de L’A in the same appellation), who also excel at Château Canon-La-Gaffelière, Clos de L'Oratoire, and La Mondotte in Saint-Émilion, the other properties of the von Neipperg family.
