HISTORYHistory & Heritage
The Château de Panisseau is located near Bergerac, in Périgord Pourpre's heartland, 5 kilometers East of the Bordeaux wine region. While the castle was built by the English during he Fourth Crusade, a little before 1200, it was maintained by its various owners, and redesigned during the Renaissance. It has since become an iconic architectural landmark of feudal Périgord.
A unique place rooted in history
VINEYARD & TERROIRThe Vineyard
The Bergerac appellation benefits from an exceptional terroir, with vine cultivation dating back to AD 281. The estate covers 262 acres (106 ha) of which 116 acres (47 ha) is dedicated to vines, and 44% to forests, fields and meadows.
The vines are planted on hillsides overlooking the Château de Panisseau, they are therefore exceptionally well drained. Thanks to the property's diversity of soils, each grape variety can be cultivated in the best conditions possible allowing it to reveal its full potential and unique aromas.
