Description
This classic bottle on your table instantly indicates fine wine street cred. Theres simply no other ros in the world like it. Tibouren is a viticultural treasure of Provence: a transportative grape that transmits the aromas of her herbaceous hillside and converts her intense sunshine into lip smacking, palate-staining fruit quite like it. Clos Cibonne is hands down the best and most famous Tibouren ros, from one of Ctes de Provences 18crus classs, and a mark of quality for 70 years.
A sip of Clos Cibonne ros is a step back in time 120 years. This vineyard is one of 18 Crus Classs of Ctes de Provence, from a family that played a role in creating the Ctes de Provence AOC in 1973. On windy bluffs overlooking Toulon, near Bandol, fifth-generation winemaker Olivier Deforges and only one other employee craft this wine from 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache. They raise the wine in 120+ year old foudres under flor, as is done in the Jura and Jerez, imparting savory, exotic aromas and transmitting the sea breeze that the thin-skinned Tibouren requires to thrive.
