We've always loved the Chateau d'Aiguilhe from Count Stephan von Neipperg. In the classic 2018 vintage, it's earned an amazing SIX reviews in the 91- to 93-Point range. Pretty impressive for a Bordeaux that sells for under thirty bucks!
James Suckling: 93 Points
(1/19/2021) "The purity of fruit to this is really attractive with blue fruit, blackberries and flowers on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with fine tannins, a solid core of fruit and a long, attractive finish. Drink in 2022 and onwards."
Decanter: 92 Points
(11/9/2020) "Austere, textbook limestone flavours given a plump mid palate by damson and black cherry fruits. Owned by Stephan von Neipperg. Drinking Window 2023 - 2036."
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
(3/1/2021) "Under the same ownership as Canon la Gaffeliere in Saint-Emilion, this estate has produced a powerfully rich wine, with tannins cushioned by dense black-plum flavors. Rich in structure and driven by fruit, the wine will age well. Drink from 2023."

(3/11/2021) "Readers looking for a beautiful Bordeaux that's not going to break the bank should check out the 2018 Chateau D'Auguilhe. Coming from the cooler Castillon region to the east of Saint-Emilion, this beauty offers a terrific perfume of ripe black raspberries, cherries, roasted herbs, sweet mulch, and spring flowers. It has a fresh, crunchy quality to its fruit, nicely integrated acidity, ripe yet present tannins, and the class to keep for 10-15 years. Maturity: 2021 - 2036."
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
(3/31/2021) "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 d'Aiguilhe jumps up out of the glass with exuberant notes of plum preserves, Black Forest cake and blackberry pie, plus hints of potpourri, hoisin and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate has a soft texture and oodles of freshness supporting the mouth-coating black fruit preserves, finishing with loads of exotic spice layers. Drink Date: 2022 - 2036."
