The 2025 Clos Sainte Magdeleine Cassis Rosé is a beautifully refined Provençal rosé from one of the oldest and most iconic estates in Cassis, dramatically perched between the Mediterranean and the towering cliffs of Cap Canaille. Certified organic, the wine is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre grown on rocky clay-limestone soils just metres from the sea. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel on fine lees without malolactic fermentation, it opens with delicate aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant and pink grapefruit, lifted by floral notes and a distinctive maritime freshness.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity, a silky texture and remarkable saline minerality. Bright red berry fruit and citrus are balanced by subtle herbal notes, leading to a long, dry finish with freshness and elegance. Pure, vibrant and unmistakably Mediterranean, it is a benchmark Cassis Rosé that beautifully captures its unique coastal terroir.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Clos Sainte Magdeleine Cassis Rosé is a superb match for grilled prawns, bouillabaisse, seared tuna, Niçoise salad, Mediterranean seafood or grilled vegetables. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2029 while its vibrant fruit, mineral freshness and coastal character are at their best.
