Château de Pibarnon sets the standard for greatness not only in Bandol but also for wines the world over. 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!

Watermelon, pit fruit and lavender? First day the lavender more, second the fruit.

Shimmering salmon skin. Powerful cherry, raspberry, pit fruit and lavender aromas, along with blood orange and succulent herb flourishes. Stains the palate with mineral-accented red berry, bitter cherry, white peach, orange pith and floral pastille flavors that show sharp delineation and spicy lift. In a powerful style, but it comes off lithe and precise. Shows powerful thrust on an impressively long, mineral-tinged finish that echoes the peach and blood orange notes.

My favourite rosé, never ceases to please. Strawberry and a mild citrus, an almost creamy floral mid-palate and some peppery herbs on the finish.

Firecracker strawberry with a slippery slide: quiet to bold. Humming strawberries, white pepper, and thyme, then something spicier, deeper, candied, rich & savory.
