Domaine du Bagnol - Cassis Marquis de Fesques blanc 2019
91/100
RVF
"Aged in barrel, Le Marquis de Fesques 2019 takes on a more exotic, unctuous twist, with a fine bitterness on the finish that carries the wine with length. A fine southern white for the table." (Le Guide RVF 2022) A tribute to the estate's founder, this parcel selection is a blend of Marsanne, Clairette and Ugni Blanc, vinified and aged in wood.

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.

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.

About the wine:
Aged in barrel, Le Marquis de Fesques 2019 takes on a more exotic, unctuous quality, with a fine bitterness on the finish that carries the wine with length. A fine southern white for the table.
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.

The last white in our tasting. Brilliant yellow color. Nose of white fruit. Balanced, sapid palate.
