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.
The wine region of Provence
Provence is a wine region in the far southeast of France, best known for the quality (and quantity) of its rosé wines and for its Warm, mild Climate. The modernization that is taking place in many of the traditional wine regions of southern France has not yet taken place to the same extent in Provence, but there are Clear signs of change. The region's Grape varieties, in particular, have come under scrutiny in recent decades. Traditional varieties such as Carignan, Barbaroux (Barbarossa from Sardinia) and Calitor are being replaced by more commercially viable varieties such as Grenache, Syrah and even Cabernet Sauvignon.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
