Pibarnon’s journey to greatness owes much to the passion of Comte de Saint Victor who bought the property when he fell in love with its wine when on holiday in the area and subsequently restored the 13th century bastide and the vineyards which were in some disarray. The Triassic limestone and altitude of 300 metres explain Pibarnon’s great elegance and aromatic finesse. The Mourvèdre vines are protected from the fierce Mistral by the semi-circular amphitheatre of terraces of this vineyard site. Viicultural practices are executed manually with the rigorous selection entailing very low yields. Strict adherence to quality concerns in the vineyard keep yields below 40 hl/ha.
This delicious, pale organic rosé produced by the saignée method (bleeding the juice off the red grapes following sufficient contact to impart the pink colour) from young Mourvèdre (65%) and Cinsault (35%) vines. This rosé has complex flavours, crisp acidity and a pronounced mineral background. It will accompany red mullet, dishes with saffron, lightly curried food and blue cheeses very well.
