Bandol Rouge, Chateau de Pibarnon 2020

Organic. This is Pibarnon’s top wine, and one of the great ‘mountain Bandols’. It’s a blend of 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache drawn from the Estate’s high-altitude restanques. The altitude, the influence of the sea and the limestone/clay soils all bring a freshness and purity that is rare among Mediterranean reds. 

Aromas suggest licorice, cinnamon and Provençal garrigue. Complexly flavored and richly textured, with structured tannins; black fruits and baking spices.Pair with beef short ribs with soy glaze or pork sausages with herbs.
