Cassis is a small coastal Village and wine region in Provence, in southeastern France. Created in May 1936, the Cassis appellation covers red, white and rosé wines produced from 200 hectares of vines, all located within a mile or two of the Mediterranean. (Despite its name, the village does not produce Crème de Cassis, the Sweet blackcurrant liqueur that is actually a specialty of Burgundy. ) The landscape around Cassis is that of classic Provence; Clear, blue Mediterranean waters and terracotta roofs overlooked by white limestone cliffs and surrounded by vineyards and Garrigue.
Garrigue" is the southern French word used to describe the Dry, grassy garrigue landscapes on limestone soils, which were described by Baron Le Roy de Boiseaumarie (the godfather of the appellation system) as an ideal wine-growing Terroir. Throughout Provence, chains of hills and low coastal ridges rise here and there, creating mesoclimatic variations. The warmest and most stable mesoclimates are those directly adjacent to the Mediterranean, thanks to the moderating effect of the sea. The stretch of coastline where Cassis and Bandol are located nearby is an excellent example.
