Clos Cibonne

Clos Cibonne – Wine Style, Vineyards and Ageing Potential

The hallmark of the estate is Tibouren, a rare Provençal grape variety that gives the wines their distinctive aromatic profile and structural depth.

Clos Cibonne rosés are aged in large oak foudres, while some cuvées spend an extended period under a natural yeast veil (voile). This traditional method adds texture, subtle oxidative complexity, and exceptional ageing potential.

• Tibouren Rosé – Rosé wines of refined structure, combining red berry fruit, dried herbs, spice, mineral notes, and delicate oxidative nuances.
• Cuvée des Vignettes, Cuvée Caroline, Cuvée Olivier – Limited-production cuvées made from older vines, offering greater concentration, texture, and ageing potential.

The Clos Cibonne vineyards are located near the Mediterranean Sea on the slopes of the Colle Noire massif. The terroir is defined by a combination of clay, limestone, schist, and other geological formations, while the maritime climate helps preserve freshness, natural acidity, and aromatic precision.

Old Tibouren vines provide additional concentration and complexity, making this variety the defining feature that distinguishes Clos Cibonne from other Provence producers.

Clos Cibonne wines are crafted for evolution rather than immediate consumption. Thanks to ageing in large foudres and the natural structure provided by Tibouren, the finest cuvées can develop for more than a decade, gradually revealing notes of nuts, dried fruit, spice, and a richer, creamier texture.
