Seigneurs d'Aiguilhe, Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux (France)
A plush, right bank claret-style wine with bags of autumn berry intensity and a silky smooth finish. This has intense bramble fruit flavours befitting of a good Bordeaux that handily doesn’t need years in the cellar to show its best.
Castillon is essentially an extension of the prestigious St-Émilion, so the wines share a lot of the same characteristics - ripe Merlot fruit, balanced structure - but without the same level of hype. It's a place for well-made Bordeaux without needing the big name or price tag to match.
The blend is Merlot dominant, traditional for right-bank Bordeaux wines, with a splash of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon for good measure.
Pair this wine with tender roast lamb to complement soft tannins.
