Bettane & Desseauve
This pale yellow wine, with its crystalline reflections, reveals the nose of a great white Cassis. Notes of grapefruit and lime blossom emerge from the glass. On the palate, the attack is highly aromatic (citrus, exotic fruit). This is followed by a mellow texture and a very fresh finish.

About the domain :
Purchased in 1997 by the Genovesi family and certified organic since 2014, the 17 hectares are located in the heart of the village of Cassis, overlooking the sea and the majestic Cap Canaille. The terraced vineyards face south-west, benefiting from a clay-limestone terroir and the influence of the sea. Today, Sébastien and his wife Lisa manage this little viticultural jewel and, under the watchful eye of the energetic Jean-Louis Genovesi, produce generous, tasty cuvées.

About the domain :
Archives mention the presence of vines as early as 1430 in this place called "Lobanhou", at the foot of Cap Canaille, the highest maritime cliff in France. Since 1997, Sébastien Genovesi has been managing this 23-hectare certified organic estate in the heart of Cassis, which was founded in 1884 by the Marquis de Fesques.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
The small (215 hectares) Cassis appellation has built its reputation on its whites of marsanne, clairette, pascal blanc and ugni. Few cuvées reflect the deep Mediterranean character expected of them. At Domaine du Bagnol, the Genovesi family is working to revive the image of this resplendent vineyard with more ambitious wines. Under Sébastien's impetus, the vines were converted to organic farming in 2014, and modern, precise winemaking enables us to chisel out straightforward, technically irreproachable wines. We're convinced that a touch more ripeness in the grapes would make the saline flavors and deep flesh of these wines resonate even more.
