Clos Cibonne, Cuvee Tradition Rose 2021
Light orange colour. Expressive nose of ripe exotic fruits, clementine stewed fruit with hints of rose, sweet spices, enhanced by typical iodine touches. Voluminous, long on the palate, enveloping a rising wave of citrus fruit with a warm explosion of spices and sweet woody notes on finish.
The one-of-a-kind Provence rosé dominate by the native Tibouren grape. Loved by collectors for its texture, substance and ability for ageing.

The vineyard is located by the sea on a hill of the Maures Mountains, overlooking Toulon’s harbor on the west and the Giens peninsula on the east. The salty and clayey soil guarantees good drainage of the land. The proximity of the sea brings coolness in the summer. The winds coming from the east and the west ventilate the vineyards thus guaranteeing the vines’ good health.
The grapes are destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Maceration for ten days, with twice-daily pump-overs. After fermentation, the wine is racked into hundred-year-old casks, and ages for at least one year.
