Clos Cibonne ‘Cuvee Speciale' Tibouren Rouge

Clos Cibonne is one of Provence's true benchmarks, and while the estate is best known for its legendary rosés, the Cuvée Spéciale Tibouren Rouge is every bit as compelling. Produced from old Tibouren vines rooted in the schist soils overlooking the Mediterranean, this is a wine that captures the savory, herbal soul of southern France without ever feeling heavy. Long committed to sustainable farming and traditional cellar practices, Clos Cibonne continues to showcase why this historic estate has become the standard-bearer for the rare Tibouren grape.

This is a wonderfully aromatic and complex red, offering notes of wild strawberry, red currant, dried herbs, orange peel, rose petals, and earthy spice. Medium-bodied and beautifully fresh, it combines silky tannins with vibrant acidity and a lingering, mineral-driven finish that makes it incredibly food-friendly. Serve it with grilled lamb, ratatouille, roast pork, or a simple platter of charcuterie and aged cheeses. If you've never experienced Tibouren as a red wine, this is one of the world's finest expressions of the variety.
