Tasting notes
Now gracefully entering its second stage of maturity, this southern icon reveals a beautifully evolving bouquet of liquorice, black pepper, and the early whispers of truffle. On the palate, it still holds youthful energy and tension, with a vibrant structure, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable depth. This is a wine of elegance and complexity, expressing the terroir of Bandol with clarity and finesse. It continues to evolve and promises even greater nuance over the next decade.
A compelling choice for collectors and lovers of mature Mourvèdre.
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.
