- 50% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc, 20% Marsannae/Ugni Blanc
- The white vines sit on top of a unique north facing slope that reaches 900 feet in altitude, with a soil composition of blue marl, similar to that found at Petrus and Chateau Chalon.
- Fermented slowly at low temperatures in tank for about 25 days, to maximize complexity and freshness. The Blanc is then aged in tank and a small part in older wood.

"The elegant and perfumed 2023 Bandol Blanc from Château de Pibarnon is a real success this year, despite a challenging vintage in the region. It evokes aromas of citrus, spring flowers, curry leaves and white fruits mingled with spicy notes. Medium-bodied, perfectly balanced and fleshy, it has a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a long, mineral and saline finish. This blend of 55% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc and the rest of a mix of other white grapes is an outstanding wine."
