The vineyard of the bay of Cassis
Sport
Presentation
The marriage of the vine and the sea. Such is the clever alchemy that contributes to the reputation of the Cassis vineyard, famous for its plots of vines overlooking the Mediterranean and the quality of its white wines, but also of its reds and rosés.
Since the Greeks and Romans, the goldsmiths of the vine have sculpted the limestone terraces above the bay of Cassis, between the creeks and Cap Canaille. They offer themselves to the golden sun of Provence and let themselves be caressed by the fine sea air. An ecosystem coupled with a rare know-how, rewarded in 1936 by the obtaining of the first Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée in France, and maintained since then by twelve domains, mostly family owned. In total, 215 hectares of viticultural excellence in the heart of unique landscapes, now included in the Calanques National Park.
