The modern era at Clos Cibonne began in 1793 when the Roux family purchased it from Jean-Baptiste de Cibon, a captain in the royal marines of Louis XVI. In 1930, in order to pursue his goal of producing top-quality wines, André Roux planted the estate exclusively to the rare tibouren grape, creating the iconic labels which remain unchanged to this day. Brigitte, Andre’s granddaughter, and her husband, Claude Deforges, took over the family property in 1993. Today, fifth-generation winemaker Olivier Deforges has taken over as both vineyard manager and winemaker (the winery currently has only one other employee, otherwise the family still does all of the work themselves). Olivier has focused his energy on impeccable viticulture, after transitioning to organic viticulture for the last decade, they are now certified organic since the 2019 vintage. Thanks to Olivier and his family efforts, Clos Cibonne once again occupies one of the most respected positions in Provence.
