Tasting Notes and Scores
The Château d'Aiguilhe 2014 is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc picked between 3 and 13 October, vatted for 30 days and aged in 30% new oak barrels. It has an immediately pleasurable nose that should remain intact by the time of bottling: bundles of juicy mulberry and strawberry fruit with a smear of vanilla filling in any gaps. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a touch of citric fruit lending tension, impressive depth with a nicely poised, yet elegant finish. There will be better 2014s in Bordeaux but few with the QPR of this little beauty. The only downside? Pronouncing the name when you place the order. Say "de-gwee" and you should be there however, don't blame me if a case of something completely different arrives. - Neal Martin (eRobertParker.com - April 2015)

A tangy and energetic white with sliced peach, pear and apple and mineral undertones. Full body, lively and delicious already. This is a new project and barrel fermented and aged for a 10 months. This takes its inspiration from the Loire more than Bordeaux. It’s 100% sauvignon blanc. – jamessuckling.com, March 2015

Fresh and open, with a kiss of toasted vanilla giving way quickly to lively plum and raspberry fruit. Offers a spice-infused finish. Should be a solid value. – James Molesworth (WineSpectator.com, 2015)

Dark, sweet, dried-fruit aromas and pretty drying tannins on the end. Good intentions but slightly less oak might help showcase the fruit. Hint of green on the end. – jancisrobinson.com, March 2015
