2024 Clos Cibonne "Cuvée Spéciale des Vignettes" Tibouren Côtes de Provence Rosé

The 2024 Rosé Cuvée Spéciale des Vignettes comes from 60-year-old vines on schist and was aged for one year in old foudres under a veil of fleurette. Suffice it to say, this is an undeniable rockstar of a Rosé. Potent, staining and endlessly complex, the 2024 boasts a measure of textural polish and suaveness that makes it feel so intentional, so confident. Cherry skin, lavender, sea spray, garrigue, sweet cream and orange peel broaden and lengthen in the glass. Sneaky acids underpin the wine from start to finish, supporting the naturally broad stature conferred by the élevage. If you’re seeking a Rosé that’s like no other, look no further. (BN)
