Vineyards & Vinification

The vineyard is located by the sea on a hill of the Maures Mountains, overlooking Toulon’s harbor on the west and the Giens peninsula on the east. The salty and clayey soil guarantees good drainage of the land. The proximity of the sea brings coolness in the summer. The winds coming from the east and the west ventilate the vineyards thus guaranteeing the vines’ good health.

The grapes are destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Maceration for ten days, with twice-daily pump-overs. After fermentation, the wine is racked into foudres, where it ages for four to six months.


The Winery

Clos Cibonne, nestled in the heart of Provence, is a historic estate renowned for its distinctive wines crafted predominantly from the native Tibouren grape variety.

Tibouren, an ancient grape believed to have originated in Mesopotamia, spread by the Greeks, and later transported to Italy by the Romans, where it’s known as Rossese. Tibouren is a very fine, thin-skinned grape which requires a lot of ventilation to be successful and needs to grow close to the ocean, with lots of ventilation to be successful and avoid issues with rot. All of these requirements make Clos Cibonne the perfect terroir for tibouren, as they are walking distance to the ocean and constantly blasted with the drying winds from the mistral.

Clos Cibonne crafts a wine that is completely its own through combining a rare grape with a unique aging process. The resulting wines have impeccable balance & freshness, with incredible structure and superb drinkability over many years.
