Comte De Saint Emmanuel

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Light orange in color.

Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, strawberries, currants, lemons, peaches, spices, sea salt and light earth.

Tangy finish with grapefruits and limes.

This is a young Rosé from Bandol. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant with a soft mouthfeel.

Nicely balanced and already showing nice complexity.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Cinsault from 45 year old vines.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40.

Fruity nose of red fruits with earth, herbs and chocolate notes.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with raspberries, cherries, peppercorn, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light cedar, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Mourvedre from Bandol. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Drinking beautifully now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Complex and delicious right now. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. Aged for 22 months in large French oak barrels.

Day 2 notes. Nose of blueberry and blackberry, granite and graphite. Dark and rich but super mineral as well. Palate is energetic and fresh but also dark and rich with blackberry and blueberry galore. Young and disjointed as it was yesterday but it’s all there. Check back in 5 years — 2 years ago

Excellent winemaker. Their rosé is my favourite. And the main Bandol Mourvèdre is always a winner in my book.

@Raun Kupiec I visited them this summer. Very good quality and indeed, their rosé is fabulous. I also bought the Chateau Pibarnon 2019 which I will be opening soon

I was there about 10 years ago. Beautiful spot up in the hills. Rang the bell at the door. And they were really nice and talkative as we tasted.

I love this wine. One of the best St. Jo Blancs. Nose is expansive and ripe with exotic tropical fruits and lots of gras. Also granite and lime jelly and liquified lemon jelly. Sea air as well. So clean. Palate is so finesse driven with awesome texture and depth. Energy from granite but definetly not for acid heads. Rich, long finish with tropical fruits and granite. Needs air. — 2 years ago
