2019 Chateau de Pibarnon Rosé Bandol Provence

A full-bodied, blush wine that captures the licorice and berry intensity of Mourvèdre with a touch of silk from Cinsault. When you hear people talk of “serious” rosé, they’re talking about this wine. Ages tremendously well!  Aromas suggest white flowers and light spice. Fruity, full-bodied and complex; wild strawberries, raspberries, white pepper.
Pibarnon crafts the finest Mourvèdre-based wines in Bandol. A blend of older-vine Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Winemaker Eric de Saint-Victor presses his Cinsault directly; Mourvèdre is macerated in tank and free-run juice (rosé de saignée) is drawn off. Unique in its category, Pibarnon Rosé can age impressively and is at its peak within two-three years. Practicing organic.
