Chateau d´Aiguilhe 2024

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Pops from the glass with notes of lemon zest, fresh grapefruit, and green apples, opening out to hints of elderflower and lime leaves. The light to medium-bodied palate is satiny and intense with zippy citrus fruit flavors and fantastic tension, finishing long and zesty."

Weinwisser: "100 % Sauvignon Blanc. Straffes Zitrusbouquet, weiße Blüten und weißer Pfeffer. Am geradlinigen Gaumen mit edlem, salzigem Extrakt und schlankem Körper. Im gebündelten, straffen Finale Zitrusschale und Wachsnote."

Vinum: "Blasses Gelb, leicht reduktiv, zitrische Noten, kühler Stein; gradlinig am Gaumen, messerscharfe Säure, feingliedrig, mit feiner Frucht, viel Zug und salzigem Finale. Fast schon Loire-artig im Stil, sehr gelungen."

Decanter: "Green apple, and peas with some asparagus notes. Bright and zingy on the palate - a real lifted expression with drive and vibrancy but not too sharp or too lean. This is calm and controlled beyond the initial lemon, pear and apple aspect with a creamy but cool aspect on the finish. Easy to drink and enjoy with racy acidity but underpinning not overwhelming the fruit. Already bottled. Ageing 20% new oak barrels. A yield of 28hl/ha. 3.15pH."

Jeb Dunnuck: "All Sauvignon from limestone soils, the 2024 Château D'Aiguilhe Blanc is bright and juicy, with a fresh, focused, mineral-driven style in its crushed citrus and honeyed white flower notes. It's balanced, medium-bodied, and has a great finish."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Flowers, yellow citrus, cut grass, and tangerine rind nuances are all over the place. On the palate, the wine is fresh, and juicy, with hints of white peach, and tropical fruits in the creamy finish. The wine is produced from close to 100% Sauvignon Blanc, with just a bit of Sauvignon Gris in the blend. You can enjoy this with pleasure on release. Drink from 2027-2031."

Falstaff: "Sehr helles Strohgelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zarte Nuancen von Honigmelone und Guaven, weißer Apfel, ein Hauch von Wiesenkräutern. Saftig, weißes Steinobst, mineralisch, lebendige Säurestruktur, ein Hauch von Fruchtsüße, Ananas im Nachhall."
