Wine Advocate: 89-91 Points
This 2.41-hectare vineyard sits atop the clay and limestone plateau in Saint-Philippe-d'Aiguilhe. It is planted at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare, with an average vine age of 37 years in 2018. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The wine will age for 12 months in 50% new and 50% one-year-old barrels and has 13.5% alcohol. Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 D'Aiguilhe Querre gives up exuberant notes of plum preserves, baked cherries and fruitcake with nuances of potpourri, mossy bark and a waft of cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with great intensity and is laden with spicy black fruit preserves, finishing chewy.
Jeb Dunnuck: 91+ Points
Lots of smoky dark fruits, chocolate, scorched earth, and subtle oak emerge from the 2018 Château D'Aiguilhe Querre, a rich, medium to full-bodied Merlot (there's 20% Cabernet Franc) with solid mid-palate depth, good overall balance, and outstanding length. It has lots to love but needs a year or two to integrate its oak and is going to drink nicely for a decade.
