Domaine du Bagnol, situated in the picturesque village of Cassis in Provence, produces this white blend from vineyards planted on gentle slopes of clay and limestone soil with a north–northwest exposure. The grapes are manually harvested, destemmed, and pressed; fermentation continues for three weeks in cement cuves at a temperature-controlled 18 degrees Celsius. The wine is vinified completely dry, with malolactic fermentation blocked to preserve freshness, and is bottled between May and July of the following year. ​

 

TASTING NOTES: Aromas driven by pears and quince, with subtle minerals that grow on the palate. ​

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with seafood dishes, Mediterranean cuisine, and soft cheeses.
