Clos Cibonne holds a coveted title as a “Cru Classé” wine based on the 1950s classification within the Côtes de Provence AOC. Its wines are among the most admired in the region and the Cuvée Prestige Caroline is definitely worthy of such praise.

It comes from organically farmed vineyards with vines aged 40 years or more. It underwent a wild yeast fermentation that began in stainless steel and finished in French oak barrels followed by 8-10 months of aging on the lees in the same barrels (300L in size).

The result is a dry and pale salmon rosé wine that is multi-faceted, offering elegant notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, red apple skin, cherry blossom, tulip, pie crust, cream, and almond. It has a strong structure with well-defined aromas and flavors, medium alcohol at 13.5% ABV (upper-medium), and vibrant acidity.

It’s the kind of rosé wine you are sure to enjoy all year, even in the snowy spring. Cheers!

Classic Cibonne on a lighter frame in 2021 has elegance and plenty of youthful complexity. — 15 days ago

I’ve reviewed this before, but I really didn’t have the same appreciation the first time around. It really is a rose in name only, with a silky orange color, like satin, with a medium texture and a nose of citrus rind, hibiscus, peach skin or some other florals, and a palate that evokes complex, ripe orange, herbs or like, leaves in a way, vegetal, with dried apricot, a beautiful minerality and acid balance, with a lingering finish that emerges somewhat oily, more citrus rind that fruit. It really is delicious, and a surprisingly good pairing for corned beef/egg breakfast blend over a deep dark toast! — 5 months ago

This is a lovely, pale pink rosé from an island vineyard clean, crisp acidity and charming red fruit aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cherry with a persistent grapefruit note lingering on the palate. Delicate but long on the palate. Organic; 31% Mourvèdre, 29% Cinsault, 20% Syrah, 15% Grenache, 5% Tibouren — 2 years ago
