Reflecting the rich, dense 2018 vintage, this wine has a concentration that shows richness and juicy black fruits. It is taking its time to mature, still with a core of dryness. Drink the wine from 2025.

Winemaker Notes

Château de Panigon 2018 impresses at first sight with a color of marked density and a bright purple hue. The nose is just as pleasant, the aromas of very ripe black fruits of blackcurrant and morello cherries blend with a few nuances of violet and finely toasted brioche. The tasting follows with a generous mouthfeel. The attack is fleshy and tender, then the substance is expressed by a most pleasant volume and a framework of a comfortable power with tannins of incredible tenderness. The wine perfectly illustrates the quality of the vintage with its expressive nose and a powerful but very digestible material with this velvet material.
