Tasting notes
The Château de Pibarnon Bandol Rosé 2024 is a complex, robust, and age-worthy rosé with notes of red berries, pomegranate, grapefruit, and Provence herbs (garrigue), offering a medium to full body, rich texture, saline finish, and a structure hinting at potential aging, making it a serious wine for food or cellaring. Key flavors include orange cream, melon, savory spice, and a hint of bitter notes, with excellent acidity and a long, satisfying finish.
More About The Winery
Perched high above the Mediterranean Sea in Provence, Château de Pibarnon is one of the most celebrated estates of the Bandol appellation. Its breathtaking vineyards rise up to 300 metres above sea level, planted on traditional Provençal restanques (stone terraces) that preserve both the soil and the surrounding ecosystem.
The estate’s unique terroir — limestone-rich soils, cool maritime breezes, and natural biodiversity — gives Pibarnon’s wines their hallmark refinement, depth, and elegance, earning comparisons to the great climats of Burgundy.
At Pibarnon, winemaking begins in the vineyard: vines are hand-trained and cultivated without weed killers or chemicals, yields are kept deliberately low (31–38 hl/ha), and a green harvest ensures perfect ripening. All grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted by the same dedicated team year after year, guaranteeing the highest quality fruit.
Renowned above all for its Mourvèdre-based reds, which combine power, structure, and longevity with Mediterranean finesse, Château de Pibarnon also produces elegant rosés and expressive whites that reflect its extraordinary terroir.
