2024 Clos Ste. Magdeleine - Cassis BLANC (750ml)
Perched dramatically on the white limestone cliffs above the sparkling Mediterranean, 2024 Clos Ste. Magdeleine - Cassis Blanc (750ml) embodies the character of Cassis and Provence in a single glass. This white wine from the tiny Cassis AOC — tucked between Marseille and La Ciotat on France's sun-kissed southern coast — reveals a Provençal blend that speaks of place as much as of grape.
