Made from only the Merlot grape this wine spends 12 months ageing in French oakbarrels. The wine has an intense ruby colour and an expressive nose of ripe black fruits, liquorice, delicate spice and a fine toasty note. The palate is refreshing with a medium concentration, and lovely generous aromas with well integrated tannins. There is a good length on the finish letting you know the quality of this wine.

The property was acquired by Mr Jean-Baptiste Brunot and his wife in 1978. The origin of Château Piganeau comes from the name of the illustrious owner who lived here in the last century. Mr Piganeau was director of the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux and one of his passions was painting. You can find his paintings at the property as well as at the museum and the house of Saint-Émilion. He was also one of the historians of Saint-Émilion and left many writings, especially on the history of the Jacobins during the French Revolution.

Château Piganeau is located near the old port of Saint-Émilion and the classified site of Pierrefitte menhir. The latter is the largest megalith of the Gironde but its origin is still unknown.

The vineyard is located half on recent bass strips and half on sand. The nature of the light and warm soils and the proximity of the river create a microclimate favorable to the vine and the harvests are very early there as in Pomerol. The wines obtained are generally supple and elegant and can be appreciated from the first years even if they are wines that can be kept for more than 10 years.
