The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine With a 1-star rating from the French wine guide RVF, Clos Cibonne is a Provence icon, renowned for its unmistakable charm and character. This historic, organically certified estate, nestled by the sea, benefits from a unique terroir where the Tibouren grape flourishes. An ancient, indigenous variety found nowhere else, Tibouren produces distinctive wines that showcase the region’s full potential—wines that Brigitte and Claude Deforges passionately preserve and share with the world.
Wine A blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Tibouren, the 2022 Côtes de Provence Tentations Red offers supple tannins, a generous texture, and deep Mediterranean aromas of black fruits and spices, with notes of blackcurrant and blackberry. Its smooth character, complexity, and vibrant, expressive finish make it immediately enjoyable. A fantastic pairing for rabbit with olives or a classic Provençal daube.
Vinification This is a carefully selected négociant wine sourced from top neighboring terroirs within the Côtes de Provence appellation.
