Languedoc

Château du Donjon

Minervois

Jean Panis set out on a different career - as a sound engineer for theatre,TV and rock concerts – before taking over his father’s estate of 45 hectares in Minervois in 1996. His first vintage of the top wine, Cuvée Prestige won the highest award in the French wine guide, Guide Hachette, but he has not sat back following this auspicious start. More recently Robert Parker also awarded the wines high scores – justifiable praise for wines that combine ripeness and suppleness with real Southern French character.
