This Cassis rosé, with its pale peach color—a blend of Grenache (70%) and Cinsault—is truly delicate. The glass releases citrus notes that blend fruitiness with floral hints. With incredible finesse, the palate is silky and fresh, offering perfect balance. A delightful wine to enjoy with a meal!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
The château has a long and rich history dating back to the 18th century. Until the 20th century, its agricultural activities focused on mixed farming, and it was not until 1922—when Colonel Teed, a subject of His Majesty the King of Great Britain, purchased the estate—that viticulture really took off there. He cultivated not only the vines but also his artistic sensibilities, and it is thanks to him that renowned artists came to spend time in Cassis. Acquired in 1987 by Jean-François Brando, the 25 hectares of vineyards are clustered around the château, at the foot of the Couronne de Charlemagne, on stony clay-limestone soil. It is unique in that it produces 15% red wine, a rarity in the appellation. For this year’s tasting, only one cuvée was presented. We hope that next year the entire range will be back.

About the estate:
A fountain dug in 1687 to supply running water to the château under construction is the origin of the estate’s name, which winemaker Jean-François Brando acquired exactly three centuries later, in 1987. After the Revolution, this site also served as the residence of the commissioners of the Republic. Today, the vineyard covers 25 hectares and produces Cassis wines of consistently high quality. A sure bet.
