Clos Cibonne Rose 'Cuvee Tradition' 2021

Clos Cibonne's iconic Cuvee Tradition stands uniquely apart from other roses as a classic; one-of-a-kind Cotes de Provence rose featuring the tibouren grape in the lead role. Cuvee Tradition is legendary amongst experienced French wine collectors for its texture, substance, and ability to age gracefully for a decade or more. It is a limited wine made exclusively with estate-grown, organic tibouren grapes and a bit of grenache to meet Cotes de Provence blending guidelines.

The vineyard, one of 18 Crus Classes of Cotes de Provence, consists of traditional goblet-trained vines located close to the Mediterranean Sea in the foothills of the Maures mountains, overlooking Toulon's harbour. The microclimate of Clos Cibonne is especially important to the uniqueness of the wines, as the ocean's proximity brings much-needed cool air to the vineyards in the summer months. Their location at the foot of the Maures mountains ensures good east-west ventilation, which is ideal for the health and balance of the vineyard.
