Clos Sainte Magdeleine

Bel-Arme 2019

Cassis AOP

Provence

Produced from the estate's old vines, the Bel-Arme cuvée comes from limestone terraces situated directly on the slopes of Cap Canaille. The northern exposure allows the wine to retain a nice freshness.

Vinified with indigenous yeasts and matured on fine lees in ovoid concrete vats for several months, the wine is then bottled without fining or filtration. It then expresses straightforwardness and balance around a beautiful, fresh and finely saline body. Its minerality and its fine bitters will allow it to accompany a meal around Mediterranean fish, white meat or shellfish. It can also be aged for several years in the cellar.

55% marsanne, 20% ugni blanc, 20% clairette and 5% bourboulenc.
