M. Chapoutier Luberon La Ciboise 2022 (750ml)
Product price
Description
M. Chapoutier's La Ciboise is a Southern Rhône red blend from Luberon, the southernmost valley of the Rhône region. The 2022 vintage captures the warm, sun-soaked character typical of the appellation, built from a blend of varieties selected to balance richness with freshness.
This is an approachable wine meant for early drinking, the kind that suits a casual dinner as readily as it does a glass on its own. Southern Rhône blends typically layer dark fruit with herbal notes and a natural spice, and this one follows that blueprint without pretension. It's the sort of bottle that offers good value without demanding a special occasion to open it.
Expert Reviews
A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, the 2020 Luberon La Ciboise artfully combines notes of cherries and black olives into a medium to full-bodied wine that's round in the mouth, with a silky, mouthwatering finish. Drink it over the next year or so. (Wine Advocate, May 2024)
Loads of peppery spice, earth, and assorted darker fruits emerge from the 2020 Lubéron La Ciboise, a medium-bodied, classy blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. The Syrah plays the lead role here, and this is ideal for drinking over the coming couple of years. (Jeb Dunnuck, January 2022)
