2021 Château de Pibarnon Nuances Rosé Bandol, Provence, France

On the nose, expect complex layers of red fruits like morello cherry, red currant and cranberries, mingling with herbaceous notes of sage, garrigue, mint and a hint of tea or potpourri. The palate is broad and mouth-filling—chewy yet elegant, with red berry and nectarine framed by mineral‑tinged blood orange, floral lavender hints and savory herbal lift.

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2021 Château de Pibarnon “Nuances” Rosé Bandol is a deeply expressive, full-bodied Provençal rosé crafted by one of Bandol’s most esteemed estates. Hailing from the elevated, terraced vineyards (restanques) around La Colline du Télégraphe at ~300 m altitude, the wine reflects a distinctive terroir of blue marl soils, benefiting from cool nights and sea breezes that preserve freshness in Mourvèdre-dominant rosé.

This is a grand rosé—not the light summer sipper, but a serious, structured wine. Serve cool to lightly chilled (around 14–15 °C), maybe with a brief decant, especially if the bottle has been bottled longer ago.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Château de Pibarnon, founded in 1977 by Henri de Saint‑Victor and now under Eric de Saint‑Victor, has embraced biodynamic farming since 2016. Vineyards are manually worked and horse-plowed, with yields kept low for maximum concentration. The 2021 Nuances is indeed organic and reflects Pibarnon’s commitment to natural viticulture.
