WHITE
2009 CHAT. PIBARNON Bandol Blanc $35 Exclusive
Deluxe blend of Clairette and Bourblenc from Bandol in Provence – the white counterpart to the powerful Bandol rouge. Burst of fresh provencal olives, pine and jasmine scents on the nose. Ripe peach and apricot flavors with rich honeyed notes. On the palate, the wine offers a wonderful balance of rich, dry texture and sappy, mouthwatering complexity. Pibarnon’s bandol Blanc is planted on north-facing slopes to preserve its freshness and natural acidity, and is made with very little sulfites. Enjoy this richly delicious white with grilled chicken and fish, roasted vegetable salads, swordfish, lobster and other summer delights!
ROSE!

Bandol is the King of Rose, with 60% Mourvedre and 40% Cinsault leading the charge. Enticing aromas of redcurrant and cherry, with compelling notes of herbs, w
hite flowers, anise and minerals. Smooth & fleshy with berry and blood orange flavors and tangy notes of white pepper and quinine. Offers superb complexity and is very flexible at the table. Tremendous!
