We are excited to share two stellar French rosés that have just arrived at our shop. Both varieties are distinct in style—the Michel Vittan Sancerre rosé is refreshing and crisp with a perfect length. The highly sought Provence rosé from Clos Cibone retains a classic food-friendly approachability.
We hope you enjoy! Cheers!
2020 Michel Vittan Sancerre Rosé, $27
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes: Crisp acidity and raspberry flavors give this wine an initial zippy and tart sensation underlined by a beautiful mineral texture. It is fruity, zesty, fresh and ready to drink in the warm summer sun!
2020 Clos Cibonne ‘Tentation’, $20
Grapes: Blend of 50% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 15% Syrah and 15% Tibouren
Tasting Notes: The 2020 harvest in Provence is a top vintage with very high quality, and this bottle is a clear example. Clos Cibonne isn't your typical producer of Provençal pink wine.
They have a family heritage that dates back to 1797, when the Roux family purchased the vineyard estate after the death of its original owner, Jean-Baptiste de Cibon. Year after year, they make some of the best wines in the region.
The 'Tentation' is nicely textured, with balanced acidity and soft fruit and spring flower aroma notes. An enjoyable bottle of pink for just $20!
