CHÂTEAU PIBARNON PROVENCE, FRANCE

Purchased in 1975 by Catherine and Henri de Saint Victor. Recognizing the region’s potential, the visionary couple worked tirelessly for some 30 years, landscaping and crafting ever better wines. Perched atop the highest and northernmost part of the appellation, the Château commands sweeping vistas of the amphitheater of vines and the Mediterranean Sea. With its impeccable terroir, Pibarnon unquestionably crafts the finest Mourvèdre-based wines in Bandol and some of the most seductively aromatic and nobly structured wines in all of Southern France. Henri passed away in 2013 and today this status is maintained by their son, Eric de Saint Victor.
