The Château de Pibarnon was once again
present, as every year, at the Carrousel du Louvre, on 28th and 29th

Desseauve.
Located on the Mezzanine, nicknamed
"Paradise", we offered a preview tasting of our young vintages, 2011
Red and 2012 Red, 2013 Rosé and White, but the highlight was the opening of our
Jeroboams from 2000 and 2003!!!
Visitors present were thrilled and
delighted at the tasting and at the range of Red Château de Pibarnon offered
(2012, 2011, 2010,.., 2001 and 2000)!!!
Read MoreVendanges 2014 - Premiers RaisinsThe harvest of the 2014 vintage started at Pibarnon.
The sun is shining and the first grapes have arrived to the press in perfect
condition.
The vats are gradually filled with the precious
White nectar to start with, and then the Rosé.
Then, it will be the Mourvèdre de
Pibarnon's turn, the famous Red which always takes a little longer to reach
full maturity on the top of the hill.
You have to be patient with King Mourvèdre!

Read MoreVendanges 2013Here we are !!!The last grapes have been harvested... At
least, one might say! Unusual conditions this year have forced us to harvest
over a long period...Since 5th September (for our
white varieties), until 15th October for the last Mourvèdres ...Some may say that 2013 has been a
complicated year, others may say it has been special, either way it has
certainly been a difficult one, but beautiful overall! Late maturities, periods of humidity and rain
in September meant we had to weigh up the lack of maturity against the risk of
rot...There is an old saying in Pibarnon, we only
harvest when the grapes are ripe...So, we eliminate the risk of rot by
removing the superfluous leaves by hand from around the bunch as these retain
moisture, and therefore leave the fruit exposed to the air and sunshine so that
it dries properly and matures... The gamble paid off, no hail came, the sun took
over from the rain and the grapes ripened healthily so they were picked at
their optimum.
2013 will, therefore, once again produce a beautiful, a very beautiful
vintage for Pibarnon!
