The vineyards of Château de Pibarnon 2005 dominate the valley, facing the sea, hung from terraced terraces, up to 300 m above sea level, on these slopes forming a vast circus sheltered from the mistral. The high altitude of the vineyard is worth the cool nights and a slow maturation of the grapes. The vineyard of Château de Pibarnon is planted on a very ancient Triassic soil, characterized by a very high rate of limestone. This limestone promotes the appearance of bouquets in wines, and allows the extraction of very fine and elegant tannins. In addition it is he who is at the origin of freshness and minerality, giving an exemplary race and flavor. The Château de Pibarnon is divided into 12 main plots, all located on the heights of the estate: Bel Air, Jourdan, Pointes-Blanches, Cirque ...
As in the vineyard, the vatting took a lot of patience, the tannins are slowly extracted after long days of maceration and punching. The fermentation is followed by a very LONG CUVAISON (about 3 weeks) before draining. BREEDING in oak barrels for 20 months. The lightning park is 100% renewed. A diversification in the choice of coopers and casks of different ages makes it possible to better adapt the breeding of each of our terroirs.
The 2005 vintage:
Great vintage in the South. A rainy winter, with a normal cold, then a beautiful spring, which precedes a beautiful summer with cool nights and hot days. Many Mistral in July-August, which ensures a perfect sanitary condition of the vines. As in 2004, two rains in early September give vigor to the vines, while allowing a complete maturity of the tannins. Irreproachable set, grape harvests and vinifications very serene.
