    The Clos Cibonne vineyard stretches across south-facing schist slopes, just a stone's throw from the sea. This poor, well-drained soil, combined with the maritime influence, promotes a slow and complete ripening of Tibouren, a rare and emblematic grape variety of the estate. The vines, cultivated using sustainable farming practices, are deeply rooted in this unique terroir, imparting minerality and structure to the wines. The climate, tempered by the sea breeze, preserves a beautiful freshness, while expressing subtle aromas and great finesse. This exceptional vineyard produces age-worthy rosés with a strong Provençal character.

    Owner and history

    Clos Cibonne is now managed by the Roux family, guardians of the estate for several generations. Passionate and dedicated, Olivier and Claude Roux perpetuate ancestral know-how by showcasing Tibouren, a grape variety forgotten elsewhere but elevated to new heights here. Their philosophy is based on the authentic expression of the maritime terroir, traditional winemaking, and a long-term vision focused on quality and distinction. Thanks to their commitment, Clos Cibonne is recognized as one of the few estates in Provence to produce rosés with aging potential, thus affirming its unique identity and its exacting standards in every vintage.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Clos Cibonne adheres to a traditional, artisanal method: the grapes are harvested by hand, then lightly destemmed before pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve the primary aromas.
    The 2023 Rosé is then aged in century-old oak casks under a veil of yeast, a rare method in Provence, which imparts a controlled, light oxidation and great aromatic complexity. This unique process ensures a subtle balance between freshness, body, and patina, typical of the Clos Cibonne identity.
