The estate and the wine |
|
|
A one-star estate in the RVF guide, Clos Cibonne stands as one of Provence’s most iconic and captivating names. Tucked away in a pristine coastal enclave, this historic domaine—certified organic—benefits from a singular terroir where the ancient, native grape Tibouren finds its truest and most expressive voice.
You won’t find Tibouren anywhere else, and under the care of Brigitte and Claude Deforges, it has become a symbol of Provence’s hidden potential. Their dedication has helped this rare variety shine on the global stage, producing wines of unmistakable character.
The rosés, in particular, are unlike any others in the region—textured, profound, and subtly complex. They strike a remarkable balance between Provençal heritage and modern elegance. And the reds are just as compelling, offering a similarly refined and distinctive expression. Clos Cibonne is not just a great Provençal estate—it’s a world-class original. |

Made from 90% Tibouren sourced from old vines and aged for a year in 100-liter century-old oak foudres, the 2023 Côtes de Provence Cuvée Spéciale des Vignettes Rosé is a truly original and indulgent rosé. Its amber-orange hue hints at its depth, revealing intense fruit character layered with roasted notes and sun-drenched flavors—marmalade, aromatic herbs, and candied citrus. This highly complex aromatic profile unfolds gracefully with air, built on a structured, finely textured frame that carries the wine with presence and poise. A stunning food rosé—vibrant, refined, and absolutely captivating. |
