Château Ginkgo Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux 2021
Vintage Character
From the prestigious Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, the 2021 Château Ginkgo beautifully showcases its exceptional clay-limestone terroir. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by severe spring frosts and damp summer conditions, which drastically reduced yields but resulted in wines with striking freshness, balanced alcohol, and vibrant aromatic purity. Situated on the extension of the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau in Sainte-Colombe, the tiny 1.6-hectare vineyard benefits from superb natural drainage and cooling breezes, imparting a distinctive mineral tension and refined structure to the grapes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This medium-bodied red blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc opens with expressive aromas of ripe red plums, wild blackberries, and fresh violets, accented by subtle hints of cedar and forest floor. On the palate, it reveals a silky texture and fine-grained tannins, supported by a lively acidity that carries into a long, clean finish flavored with dark chocolate and a touch of savory earth. Pair this graceful bottle with rosemary-roasted lamb chops, seared duck breast, or a classic Cantonese roasted pigeon.
Winery Background
Château Ginkgo is a highly sought-after boutique estate managed by owner Yuriko Ishizaka, who champions a philosophy of natural harmony, symbolized by the resilient ginkgo leaf on the label. Spanning just 1.6 hectares, the estate practices meticulous, hands-on viticulture with extremely low yields to ensure maximum fruit concentration. In the cellar, minimal intervention and precise oak aging are employed to let the mineral-rich soils speak clearly, resulting in a rare, micro-production wine of stunning artisanal craft.
