A beautiful blend of Mourvèdre and Grenache from old vines in Cassis. This is a lovely Provençal red that embodies the spirit of southern Provence, blending red and black fruits with spicy notes of pepper and cinnamon... On the palate, it is structured yet pleasant, with plenty of charm and excellent aging potential. A rare find not to be missed!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Acquired 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. Set among southwestern-facing terraces, the plots benefit from a clay-limestone terroir and the influence of the sea. Today, Sébastien and his wife Lisa manage this little gem of a vineyard and, still under the watchful eye of the energetic Jean-Louis Genovesi, craft flavorful and full-bodied wines.

About the estate:
Archival records mention the presence of vineyards as early as 1430 at this site known as “Lobanhou,” at the foot of Cap Canaille, France’s highest sea cliff. Since 1997, Sébastien Genovesi has managed this 23-hectare certified organic estate, located in the heart of Cassis, which was founded in 1884 by the Marquis de Fesques.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
The small (215-hectare) Cassis appellation has built its reputation on its white wines made from Marsanne, Clairette, Pascal Blanc, and Ugni. Few wines truly reflect the deep Mediterranean character one expects from them. At Domaine du Bagnol, the Genovesi family is dedicated to reviving more ambitious wines and restoring the image of this magnificent vineyard. Under Sébastien’s leadership, the vineyards were converted to organic farming in 2014, and modern, precise winemaking techniques allow for the creation of clean, technically flawless wines. We are convinced that a touch more ripeness in the grapes would bring out the saline flavors and deep body of these wines even more.
