Clos Cibonne Cotes de Provence Chateau Cibon Cuvee Marius Rose, France 2022
Château Cibon “Cuvée Marius” Rosé 2022 is a serious, age-worthy Provence rosé and one of the estate’s most distinctive wines. Made from 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache, from vines over 60 years old, it is fermented with native yeasts and aged for 24 months in large 2,600-liter foudres, with bâtonnage during the first six months.
The result is rich and gastronomic, with wild strawberry, orange peel, quince, honey, Mediterranean herbs, spice and sea-spray salinity. It has real weight and texture but remains remarkably fresh. At 15% ABV, this is a rosé meant for the table and capable of aging well into the 2030s.
