Château de Pibarnon

Château de Pibarnon, owned by Eric de Saint-Victor, extends its exceptional 50-hectare vineyard on the highest slopes of the Bandol terroir in Provence. The Château de Pibarnon vineyard is located just a stone's throw from the Mediterranean, at an altitude of 300 meters. The vines, with an average age of 30 years, dominate the valley, clinging to the slopes from restanque to restanque, forming a vast, magnificent cirque sheltered from the Mistral wind. The high altitude of the vineyards means cool nights and slow ripening of the grapes, which are produced in three colors: red, rosé and white.

The de Saint-Victor family has been at the helm of this remarkable Château de Pibarnon estate since 1978. Today, Eric de Saint-Victor succeeds his father, Comte Henri de Saint-Victor, who passed away in 2013. What a journey he has made since then, with perseverance and conviction. It's a journey that has elevated Château de Pibarnon to the highest rank, ever since the first vintage in 1978, which won a Gold Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris for all three colors: red, white and rosé! Gold, which the red Pibarnon would not relinquish for 6 consecutive years, an absolute record in the annals of the competition!
