In a historic and preserved enclave on the edge of the sea stands Clos Cibonne. An incredible estate that enjoys a special terroir where the Tibouren grape variety expresses itself admirably. This old endemic variety, which you will not find anywhere else, makes for very original wines that confirm the region’s high potential and the vision and mastery of Brigitte and Claude Deforges, its talented winemakers. 


Since 2005, they have added another string to their success: a selective and demanding activity of wine merchants which allows them to elaborate a more accessible range called "Tentations", from a rigorous selection of grapes or wines. 


Now available in three colors, this collection is the expression of their passion for the Côtes de Provence wines, but also for other French vineyards: a love at first sight and a discovery that we are delighted to share with you today!
