ABOUT THIS WINE
Château Cibon Cuvée Marius 2019 is a rosé from Clos Cibonne in Côtes de Provence, France. This wine pays homage to Marius Roux, a significant figure in the estate's history who championed the Tibouren grape. The wine's label design echoes the estate's early 19th-century branding. Clos Cibonne, established in 1797, is recognized as a Cru Classé estate and is renowned for its dedication to the Tibouren grape, with André Roux having significantly increased its presence on the estate. The wine is produced from 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache, with vines over 60 years old. Its production involves traditional viticulture and extended aging in large French oak foudres, distinguishing it from many other Provençal rosés due to its structure and aging potential.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Cibon Cuvée Marius 2019 is produced using grapes from vines over 60 years old, farmed using organic methods. The harvest is manual and conducted in the early morning. The grapes are directly pressed. Fermentation is carried out using native yeasts in new 2600L French foudres with temperature control, allowing for a long and slow process. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in these same foudres. It then undergoes a minimum of one year of bottle aging before its release.
