Discovering the wine region of Cassis

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.

Discover the grape variety: Marsanne

Marsanne is a white grape variety that originated in Montélimar in the Drôme, several centuries ago. Marsanne is also found in Cassis, Savoie, Languedoc-Roussillon and Saint-Péray in the Ardèche, where it produces remarkable sparkling wines. The warm, sunny climate of the Rhone Valley, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, as well as the dry, stony soil, are ideal conditions for its development. Its bunches are quite large and provide small, juicy berries that are sensitive to grey rot and strong winds. These two grape varieties complement each other perfectly: together they give light wines with little acidity, aromas of yellow fruit, white fruit and flowers with notes of honey and liquorice. This is for example what the appellations Saint-Péray, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Côtes-du-Vallée du Rhône, Corbières, or Cassis express... which represent about 700 hectares.

The word of the wine: Yeast

Micro-organisms at the base of all fermentative processes. A wide variety of yeasts live and thrive naturally in the vineyard, provided that treatments do not destroy them. Unfortunately, their replacement by laboratory-selected yeasts is often the order of the day and contributes to the standardization of the wine. Yeasts are indeed involved in the development of certain aromas.
