Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée
The vineyard
The Bergerac appellation benefits from an exceptional terroir, with vines cultivated dating back to 281 AD. The property covers 106 hectares, including 47 hectares of vines and 44 % of forests, fields and meadows.
At Château de Panisseau, the vines are planted on hillsides overlooking the château and are therefore exceptionally well drained. Due to its diversity of soils, each grape variety can be magnified by a terroir that best reveals the vine and its best aromas.
