The 2023 Clos Cibonne Côtes de Provence Cuvée Tradition Rosé is a classic expression from one of Provence's great traditional estates. This rosé stands uniquely apart from others, featuring the Tibouren grape in a leading role, making it a one-of-a-kind Côtes de Provence rosé. The wine is composed of 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache, aged 12-18 months in large oak casks, developing far more texture and complexity than a typical Provence rosé. It presents an alluring pale salmon hue with aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and citrus, layered with dried herbs, subtle spice, and a distinctly savory, almost saline character. The palate is dry and finely structured, with bright acidity and a long, mineral finish. This is a rosé for the table, not just for summer drinking, known for its texture, substance, and ability to age gracefully for a decade or more. 【 Renowned for its old-vine Tibouren, giving wines a distinctive savory, structured character. 】
Food pairing suggestions include grilled fish and shellfish, roast poultry, Mediterranean vegetables, Thanksgiving dinner, or maple salmon.
This rosé is perfect for a sophisticated brunch, a special occasion meal, or a gathering where a complex and food-friendly rosé is desired. Its ability to age also makes it an interesting choice for collectors.
