Wine Information

The 2020 Les Restanques de Pibarnon Bandol is a cuvée of 70% Mourvèdre and 30% Grenache. The vines are planted in an “amphitheater” facing the sea on clay, limestone, and chalk from the Triassic period. Younger vines, aged between ten and twenty years, are used for this wine, which is meant to be drunk young. Fermentation of the completely destemmed grapes takes around three weeks. The wine is then aged in foudres and Burgundian pièces for 18 months.

Colour

Intense garnet red with a slight transparency

Nose

From the outset, Les Restanques de Pibarnon appears graceful and inviting. Its aromas include ripe plums, very ripe dark berries, and blackberries. There are also notes of graphite and crushed limestone, undergrowth and foliage, garrigue and juniper with a hint of pepper.

Palate

On the palate, the young Bandol is already a great drinking pleasure. This is due to the warm, juicy, dark fruits, the velvety and elegant texture, the sweet spices, and a cool note of crushed limestone. Les Restanques is fragrant and lively, and at the same time, one finds the dark fleshiness and earthiness of Mourvèdre and a refined structure that seems easy to understand, yet still harbors complexity. The cuvée is perfectly suited to enjoying a hedonistic Pibarnon experience even with younger vintages.
