The wine region of Cassis
Provençal AOC (1936, among the first six classified) in an amphitheatre facing the Mediterranean below Cap Canaille, 196 ha on limestone soils, sunny and windy maritime climate. Signature whites (70%, rare in Provence) from Marsanne and Clairette: full-bodied and iodine-tinged with white peach, candied citrus, flowers, anise and saline-mineral coastal notes. Bourboulenc and Ugni Blanc as support. Lively rosés and supple reds from Grenache and Mourvèdre.
The wine region of Provence
World capital of dry, refined rosé (~90% of production). Pale rose-petal colour, delicate nose of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), citrus (pink grapefruit), white flowers and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Mediterranean aperitif par excellence. Blends of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren and Mourvèdre. Fleshy Bandol reds from Mourvèdre (leather, garrigue, age-worthy), straight Cassis whites.
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
