Clos Sainte Magdeleine

Cassis


Close to central Cassis, with a regularly open cellar door and a viticultural pedigree stretching back to the 1800s, this seaward-facing winery is a good place to acquaint yourself with the region's whites and rosés. Adjacent is the pebbly but spectacular beach of Anse de l'Arène.
