When most think “wine from Provence,” they are almost certainly imagining something quite unlike Clos Cibonne. Clos Cibonne, with its 15 hectares of coastal vineyards is somewhat peerless, certainly in Provence, and really in most of the winemaking world. Not only do they famously champion an almost-unheard-of Mediterranean grape named tibouren, but they spontaneously ferment their rosé, then age it in century-old foudres under fleurette (akin to flor in Jerez or sous voile in Jura). This unique savory, oxidative quality has made it a cult favorite among collectors, especially those who never thought they’d be seduced by rosé.

A limited cuvée named for the winemaker’s daughter, Cuvée Prestige Caroline is 90% tibouren and 10% grenache sourced from select plots, particularly those closest to the water. A powerful wine with great depth, with notes of red currant, macerated strawberry, blood orange, orange blossom, and freshly ground baking spices. Cinema in a bottle.
