Winemaker
The Roux and Desforges family has kept Tibouren at the heart of Clos Cibonne. Preserving that local vineyard heritage has given the estate a distinctive place in Provence.

Wine
Traditional ageing in old large wooden casks gives the Tibouren-led blend time to develop. Orange peel, red fruit and an understated savoury complexity. This has more texture and depth than a simple summer rosé, while remaining fresh. Give it a proper wine glass and food: grilled fish, saffron rice or vegetables with fennel and olives.

Origin
Clos Cibonne lies at Le Pradet, near Toulon and the Mediterranean. Tibouren thrives in this coastal setting. The nearby sea moderates the heat, helping a very local variety produce a rosé with both ripeness and definition.
