Clos Cibonne Cotes de Provence Rose Vignettes 2024 2025 L'Assemblage Part 1 80 year old vines plantedClos Cibonne is an utter rarity, making wines almost exclusively from Tibouren, an obscure Provencal grape almost no one else champions. They were here long before the rose craze and never changed the recipe. Vignettes is one of their special parcel driven roses, a more focused expression of Tibouren from old vines in Cotes de Provence near the Mediterranean. As with their classic Tibouren roses, it sees time in old foudres, lending savory complexity.
