Cassis AOC is a designated wine region located in the Provence area of southern France. It is known for producing high-quality white wines, primarily made from the Clairette grape, along with Marsanne and Bourboulenc. The region's Mediterranean climate and limestone soils contribute to the unique flavors and aromas of its wines. The Cassis AOC designation was established in 1936, making it one of the oldest AOCs in France. The wines are often characterized by their freshness, minerality, and notes of citrus and herbs, making them a perfect pairing for local seafood dishes, particularly those from the nearby Mediterranean Sea.
