2022 Clos Cibonne Tentations Rosé
WINEMAKER: Olivier Deforges
REGION: Côtes de Provence, FR
VARIETY: Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren
VITICULTURE: Organic
The Tentations range is a negotiate wine from the estate, meaning that the fruit is purchased from their neighbours. All the vinification is done at the Cibonne winery and through the growing season Olivier (now 5th generation winemaker) works closely with these growers to ensure the fruit is to their standards.
Made from 50% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, and 15% Tibouren. Bright red fruits lift from the glass, but, as with all these wines there are wonderful layers of spice and non fruit complexity beneath. The palate has wonderful texture that sets it apart from other wines in the region. Huge drinkability too. Bring on summer!
