The 45-hectare vineyard has been owned by the Allard family since 2009 and is managed with a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture, including organic conversion of the vineyards. The estate's clay-limestone soils, mature vines and prime Médoc location provide ideal conditions for producing wines that combine the power of the Left Bank with elegance and finesse. The vineyard is planted predominantly with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Petit Verdot adding depth and complexity. Careful vineyard management and traditional oak ageing allow Château Sigognac to express the distinctive character of its terroir while maintaining balance and refinement. The estate is recognised as a Cru Bourgeois, reflecting its consistent quality and reputation within the Médoc appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\na {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #464feb;\n}\ntr th, tr td {\n    border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\n}\ntr th {\n    background-color: #f5f5f5;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe excellent 2022 vintage has produced a classic Médoc displaying both richness and structure. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the wine showcases the concentration achieved during this warm growing season while retaining freshness and balance. Aged for around twelve months in oak barrels, it offers impressive depth alongside the hallmark elegance of Château Sigognac.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTasting Note: \u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=us-ascii\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003eDeep garnet in colour, the wine opens with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry layered with notes of cinnamon, cedar, sweet spice and subtle vanilla. The palate is medium to full-bodied, delivering juicy black fruit flavours framed by fine-grained tannins and well-integrated oak. Hints of liquorice, cocoa and savoury spice add complexity, while the finish is long, fresh and classically Médoc in style. Powerful yet polished, this is a wine that will reward both early enjoyment and further cellaring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFood Pairing: \u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=us-ascii\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003eAn excellent partner for roast beef, lamb, venison, cassoulet, slow-cooked beef dishes and mature hard cheeses.
