Awarded 1 star by the RVF Guide, Clos Cibonne remains an undeniable and unmatched gem of Provence. This historic estate, nestled by the sea and certified organic, thrives on a unique terroir where the Tibouren grape truly shines. An ancient, local variety found nowhere else, Tibouren produces highly distinctive wines that showcase the region’s great potential.
