Chateau de Pibarnon Bandol Rouge 2020 twe taken from a handwritten distiller'sThis is Pibarnon's top wine, a blend of 90% Mourvdre and 10% Grenache based on the oldest vines and a strict fruit selection from twelve small plots, including the highly prized Bel Air, Jourdan and Pointes Blanches parcels. Naturally fermented, with a large proportion of whole berries and raised exclusively in foudre from Burgundy and Austria, this has a finesse and seamlessness that is unique by Bandol standards, yet there is still serious stuffing.
