Awarded 1 star in the RVF Guide, Clos Cibonne remains an essential and undeniably charming Provence estate. A preserved enclave by the sea, this historic, organically certified estate benefits from a unique terroir where the Tibouren grape variety flourishes admirably. This ancient, endemic variety, found nowhere else, produces highly original wines that confirm the region's great potential, lovingly preserved and showcased by Brigitte and Claude Deforges on a global stage.

The rosés, in particular, stand out from their peers with their fleshiness, depth, and subtlety, striking a perfect balance between Provençal heritage and modernity. The reds are equally impressive, displaying the same refinement and originality of style.
