Cibonne Rosé Cuvée Tradition 2021

Who —  Clos Cibonne
Where — Provence, France
What — Rosé (Tibouren)

The flagship of Clos Cibonne, made with 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache (the Grenache addition is just there to comply with AOP regulations). Brisk palate with a lightly sappy edge; redcurrants, wild strawberries and Morello cherries. Certainly not your typical Provence Rosé but clearly demonstrates the style which Clos Cibonne strives for. It spends 1 year in large 100-year old oak foudre under a thin veil of 'fleurettes' (a flor-like substance similar to what you can find in Sherry or the Jura), which adds texture and intrigue.

The property of Clos Cibonne dates back to 1797, when the Roux Family purchased it from Jean Baptiste de Cibon, captain of the royal marines of Louis XVI. In 1930, André Roux modernised the winery, marking the start of their rosés’ rise to fame.

After navigating some murky waters in the 80s, Roux’s granddaughter, Brigette and her husband Claude Deforge renovated the cellars of Clos Cibon—preserving the tradition of ageing in old foudres, reestablishing the vaunted reputation of the domaine. Now, Clos Cibonne stands proudly as one of the 18 Cru Classés in Côtes de Provence.

At the heart of the estate is their Tibouren; André Roux believed it to be the ideal grape for the region and replaced all of the estate’s Mourvèdre with Tibouren. Clos Cibonne soon became synonymous with Tibouren and received special permission from the A.O.C. to list the grape on its labels—the only winery allowed to do so. Their wines challenge convention: using a variety of old and new oak, ageing under fleurettes (a thin layer of flor), organically farming old vines… Truly, a selection of wines produced unlike the typical Provençal rosés.

Cibonne Rosé Cuvée Prestige Caroline 2022

Who —  Clos Cibonne
Where — Provence, France
What — Rosé (Tibouren)

85% Tibouren, 10% Grenache, 5% Syrah. Name in honour of Claude and Brigette's daughter, Cuvée Caroline comes from the selected old vine plots of the estate. It's barrel fermented with regular battonage, and aged in a portion of new 300L barrels for up to ten months. This is not a Rosé for the faint-hearted, but demonstrates the potential the category has at its extremes. Full bodied, rich and textural yet still retaining acidity and freshness. Whilst approachable now, it will be further rewarded with time in the cellar and not afraid of time in a decanter upon serving.

Cibonne Rosé Cuvée Spéciale des Vignettes 2021

Who —  Clos Cibonne
Where — Provence, France
What — Rosé (Tibouren)

90% Tibouren, 10% Grenache. Cuvée des Vignettes is a selection from the estate's oldest 60-plus year old vines of Tibouren. It spends one year aged under 'Fleurette' (a flor-like substance similar to what you can find in Sherry, or the Jura) in in 120-year old 5,000L foudres. The style of Vignettes means it is the longest lived of the wines of Clos Cibonne, and is greatly rewarded with time in the cellar. Due to the small parcel of vines used, production is extremely limited.
