In a historic and preserved enclave on the edge of the sea stands Clos Cibonne. An incredible estate that enjoys a special terroir where the Tibouren grape variety expresses itself admirably. This old endemic variety, which you will not find anywhere else, makes for very original wines that confirm the region’s high potential and the vision and mastery of Brigitte and Claude Deforges, its talented winemakers. 


The rosé in particular stands out by its freshness, depth and subtlety. Here, it is the perfect balance between Provencal heritage and modernity. As for the tibouren red, it offers an intimate and more personal reading of these soils. 

Les rosés notamment dénotent de leurs pairs par leur chair, leur profondeur et leur subtilité, et trouvent ici une juste voie entre héritage provençal et modernité ; quant au rouge de tibouren, il offre une lecture intimiste et plus personnelle de ces terroirs.
