scallop carpaccio

"To be enjoyed on a platter of sea urchins".

A blend of Marsanne, Clairette and Ugni blanc that reveals a complex, pleasant nose, with lovely aromas of white flowers, yellow fruit, citrus and fresh pineapple. Crisp, elegant and lively, the palate stretches into a finish of fine bitters tinged with minerality. A fine example of vintage typicity!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

Purchased in 1997 by the Genovesi family and certified organic since 2014, the 17 hectares are located in the heart of the village of Cassis, overlooking the sea and the majestic Cap Canaille. The terraced vineyards face south-west, benefiting from a clay-limestone terroir and the influence of the sea. Today, Sébastien and his wife Lisa manage this little winegrowing gem and, under the watchful eye of the energetic Jean-Louis Genovesi, produce generous, tasty cuvées.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Archives mention the presence of vines as early as 1430 in this place called "Lobanhou", at the foot of Cap Canaille, the highest maritime cliff in France. Since 1997, Sébastien Genovesi has been managing this 23-hectare certified organic estate in the heart of Cassis, which was founded in 1884 by the Marquis de Fesques.

Rated wine (guide 2024) 90/100 (Vintage 2022)

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

The small (215 hectares) Cassis appellation has built its reputation on its whites of marsanne, clairette, pascal blanc and ugni. Few cuvées reflect the deep Mediterranean character expected of them. At Domaine du Bagnol, the Genovesi family is working to revive the image of this resplendent vineyard with more ambitious wines. Under Sébastien's impetus, the vines were converted to organic farming in 2014, and modern, precise winemaking enables us to chisel out straightforward, technically irreproachable wines. We're convinced that a touch more ripeness in the grapes would make the saline flavors and deep flesh of these wines resonate even more.
