Tasting Notes
A great expression of Mourvèdre from the limestone terraces of Bandol
This is a deep and intense red wine, displaying dark, almost black highlights in the glass. The nose is rich and evocative, offering layers of wild berries, blackcurrant, and sweet spices like cinnamon and licorice, interwoven with garrigue herbs that speak of the Provençal landscape.
On the palate, the attack is silky, fresh, and smooth, leading to a wine of remarkable structure and elegance. The Mourvèdre shines here, delivering depth, spice, and finesse in perfect balance. A superb Bandol with both ageing potential and immediate charm.
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.
