Tasting notes
Vibrant and expressive, opening with aromas of red berries, citrus peel, wild herbs, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is textured and layered, showing juicy raspberry, blood orange, and peach, underscored by savory spice, chalky minerality, and a touch of salinity. It combines freshness with structure, offering a round yet precise mouthfeel and a long, elegant, slightly peppery finish. This is a gastronomic rosé built for both summer sipping and aging potential.

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.
