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!

The description: This wine was crafted mainly from Grenache and Carignan grapes from several carefully selected terroirs in the Aude department, where the hot, dry, and extremely sunny climate allows for optimal ripening of the grapes.
With its pale pink colour, this wine is brilliant in aspect. It is extremely fruity and fragrant, with powerful aromas of strawberry, sour cherry and grenadine along with citrus notes (pink grapefruit). It is extremely fresh and easy-drinking, bold, round and long on the palate with flavours reminiscent of fruit drop candies, peach and redcurrant, finishing on a note of grapefruit.
The opinion: accurate and very good value for money …off to buy a case! — 5 months ago
