Located on the shores of the Mediterranean in the Provence region of Southwest France, this unique Wine transcends what is traditionally done in the area. Made from the grape varietal “Tibourne”, which is a very thin-skinned grape which is becoming exceedingly rare, was originally grown in Mesopotamia before being cultivated by the Greeks. At Clos Cibonne, these grapes are Goblet trained and the Vineyards directly face the sea. This allows for the grapes to be constantly blasted and dried by the winds of the Mistral which makes sure that the grapes aren't affected by Grey Rot.
This wine is made with 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache, fermented in stainless steel, then aged on lees under Fleurette for 12 months in a large wooden vat.

Tasting Note from Decanter - August 2020
95 Points - “Mid-pale orange colour. Floral and herby, with the beginnings of cumin spice and scorched citrus peel aromas. Mouth filling and deep. Rich fruit with jasmine and baked apple. Rounded and characteristic. Some touches of oak and lees. Very fresh, long finish. Classy!”
