Made from Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault grapes, the estate's Cassis rosé reveals pleasant notes of peach, lychee, and mandarin orange on the nose. The palate is crisp, rich, and fresh, with a lovely pulpy, slender, and lively sensation supported by a finish with salty accents.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
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, with views of the sea and the majestic Cap Canaille. All south-west facing terraces, the plots benefit from clay-limestone soil and the influence of the sea. Today, Sébastien and his wife Lisa manage this little gem of a vineyard and, under the watchful eye of the energetic Jean-Louis Genovesi, produce flavorful and generous wines.

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

About wine:
The Cassis region excels in producing fragrant, iodine-rich whites... but at prices above €20. We'll stick with the rosé, which, while not as intense as the white, has a southern profile with delicious fruit, good balance, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. (La RVF No. 682, July-August 2024)
About the estate:
The small (215 hectares) Cassis appellation has built its reputation on its white wines made from Marsanne, Clairette, Pascal Blanc, and Ugni grapes. Few vintages reflect the deep Mediterranean character that one would expect from them. At Domaine du Bagnol, the Genovesi family is working hard to revive more ambitious wines and restore the image of this resplendent vineyard. Under Sébastien's leadership, the vineyards were converted to organic farming in 2014, and modern, precise winemaking techniques are used to craft straightforward, technically flawless wines. We are convinced that a touch more ripeness in the grapes would bring out the salty flavors and deep body of these wines even more.
