Bagnol Cassis Rose 2025

The idyllic seaside town of Cassis is justly celebrated as a vacation destination, but its wines are arguably the most finesse-driven examples of Provence rosé in the entire region; however, with only ten producers overall, the appellation is hugely underappreciated. No producer expresses the salt-kissed limestone-driven beauty of this terroir like Domaine du Bagnol, and the current generation Sébastien Genovesi has steered operations toward the fully organic (certified since 2014), crafting a rosé of scintillating energy, chiseled calcareous musculature, and gleaming red fruits. 

The Domaine Du Bagnol sits a mere 200 meters from the shores of the Mediterranean, and benefits from cooling saline breezes during the otherwise warm and dry climate of Provence. A blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Cinsault, this Cassis Rosé has notes of cherry pit and rose water well balanced with a saline minerality intensely evocative of its unique sea-side, limestone terroir. Nuanced and complex with a lengthy finish, it will stand up well to summertime cuisine like Sardines off the grill.
