Clos Cibonne, established in the 18th century and located in Le Pradet, Provence, is renowned for its dedication to the Tibouren grape variety. The estate crafts distinctive rosés that stand apart from typical Provençal offerings, emphasizing tradition and terroir.
- WINEMAKER: Claude Deforge
- FARMING: Certified Organic
- VARIETY: 90% Tibouren, 10% Grenache
- TERROIR: The vineyards, situated at 50 meters elevation in Le Pradet, feature schist soils and benefit from a microclimate influenced by the nearby Mediterranean Sea and the Maures mountains. Vines are over 60 years old, contributing to the wine's complexity.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and directly pressed. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
- AGING: The wine ages for 12 months under a thin veil of yeast (fleurette) in 120-year-old, 5,000L foudres, imparting unique texture and complexity.
- TASTING NOTES: Vibrant copper-hued and truly distinctive, this burly rosé offers a unique profile.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with Mediterranean cuisine, seafood dishes, grilled vegetables, or as an aperitif.

SCORES: Wine Advocate: 93 points. Aromas of tonka beans, spices, vanilla, grapefruit, red berries, iodine, and spring flowers preface the 2022 Côtes de Provence Rosé Cuvée Spéciale des Vignettes from Clos Cibonne, a rosé from Provence crafted with a dominant proportion of Tibouren. Medium to full-bodied, round and sappy, it's well structured with a phenolic, gastronomic bitterness, a fleshy core of fruit, and a long, penetrating, iodine-tinged finish.
