Region: Cassis, Provence, France (Cassis AOC)
Grapes: Marsanne, Clairette, Ugni Blanc, and/or Bourboulenc (indigenous Cassis white varieties)
Body: Medium
Notes: Bright and coastal. White peach, lemon zest, fresh almond, fennel blossom, and a long, saline, mineral finish with lovely Mediterranean warmth. The white wine the South of France was always meant to make.
Pairing: Fresh bouillabaisse, grilled fish, shellfish, goat cheese, or anything that calls for a glass with the smell of the sea in it.
Domaine du Bagnol Cassis Blanc is produced at one of Cassis' most warmly regarded family estates, just a short walk from the famous harbor of Cassis — a stunning, cliff-lined port town east of Marseille that produces some of Provence's most distinctive and food-driven whites. The estate is described by visitors as a must-visit destination with passionate, knowledgeable hosts and wines that perfectly capture the coastal character of the appellation. Cassis Blanc is made from a blend of indigenous Southern French white varieties grown on limestone soils above the Mediterranean, fermented at cool temperatures to preserve the grape's natural salinity and aromatic freshness. Imported by Rosenthal Wine Merchant (RWM). Cassis is one of France's oldest and most beautiful wine appellations — tiny in production and almost entirely consumed locally — and Bagnol is one of its finest ambassadors.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
