RED WINE

Estate

Chateau de Panigon benefits from one side of the Atlantic Ocean, the other side of the presence of the Gironde estuary, providing favorable weather conditions for the development of grape varieties and the 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 flourishes 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

Chateau de Panigon seduces with 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.
