on the left bank of the Garonne and more particularly for the Medoc's properties as presented in Winemakers.
Château de Panigon seduces by its delicacy and complex aroma expression.
First, the aromas of black fruit appear : blackberry and blackcurrant, then appear the notes of toasted bread.
The touch is well balanced, long and round. tannins are melted and he finish is fruity.
The 2016 vintage is a racy wine which shows a lot of generosity and delicacy.
