Medium straw color; yellow apple, pear, and lemon on the nose; medium plus acidity; tastes like lemon peel, saline, and honeydew melon with a long finish. Turns out I'm a fan of chardonnay. — 10 months ago

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!
