Estate
Chateau de Panigon benefits from one side of the Atlantic Ocean influences, the other of the presence of the Gironde estuary, providing favorable weather conditions for the development of grape varieties and a maturity of grapes. The vineyard grows on gravel mounds worthy of the best soils of the Medoc. Composed of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the vineyard flourish hillocks on some of the best terroirs in the Medoc. Today the Chateau estate is composed of 90 hectares in the AOC Medoc region grouped around and about the domain, of which 53 hectares are planted with vines producing wine at the moment.
Their estate vineyards are an average of 28 years old and are grown on an ideal blend of gravel and clay-limestone soils.
Harvest is carried out parcel by parcel with manual and mechanical methods. The final wines are aged 100% in French oak (33% new barrels), for 12-18 months.
Tasting notes
Château de Panigon seduces by its delicacy and a complex aromatic expression. The nose first unfolds notes of black fruits: blackberry, blackcurrant, and then spreads toasted notes. The mouth is well balanced, long and round. It reveals melted tannins and opens on a pleasant fruity finish.
