The Carles Vineyards were established by Jean-Claude Carles and his wife Marie-Danielle Carles to consolidate and cultivate family properties acquired over the years in the St-Emilion terroir. Château Panet serves as the flagship of the estate, having been handed down from Jean-Claude's great aunt in 1924, and it now serves as the main production site.

 

TASTING NOTES: black cherry; powerful nose, on very ripe forest fruits, embellished with a floral touch and a vanilla woodiness; warm, exuberant palate, rich in candied fruit, structured by quality woody tannins.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Juicy steak stuffed with mushrooms, hearty stews or hard cheeses.
