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.
