Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production

Tibouren must be pruned short. It is susceptible to millerandage, dessication of the stemps and appears well suited to acid soils.
Susceptibility to diseases and pests

Tibouren does not seem particularly susceptible to diseases, except perhaps to mites.
Technological potentiality

The bunches are medium to large and the berries are medium in size. Tibouren is mostly used for the production of fine and expressive rosé wines. On the nose, these wines are fruity with floral notes. In the mouth, the wines are rather round and full-bodied, relatively long and often marked by oxidative notes.
Clonal selection in France

The two certified Tibouren clones carry the numbers 1063 and 1137.
