Domaine du Bagnol 2025 Cassis Rosé, Provence

If I were hard pressed to find my favorite rosé appellation it would be the French Mediterranean enclave Cassis. The idyllic seaside town of Cassis is justly celebrated as a vacation destination, but its wines are arguably the most finesse-driven examples of Provence rosé in the entire region; however, with only ten producers overall, the appellation is hugely underappreciated. No producer expresses the salt-kissed limestone-driven beauty of this terroir like Domaine du Bagnol, and the current generation Sébastien Genovesi has steered operations toward the fully organic (certified since 2014), crafting a rosé of scintillating energy, chiseled calcareous musculature, and gleaming red fruits. Comprising 45% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, and 20% Mourvèdre, it has gorgeous purity of texture and intense evocation of limestone.
