THE HISTORY OF CASSIS WINE
Cassis is the most beautiful wine appellation in France because of its beautiful vineyards. The best part of this region is the multiple trails that add to its beauty. A key thing to note is that this vineyard was founded over 2600 years ago.
During the 16th century, AOC Cassis gained popularity for its unique white wines. This was an interesting period for the population because at that time only red wines were widespread. Currently, Cassis produces 67% of the white wines in France.
In addition, the region has also turned to the production of red wine and rosé. This is one of the main reasons why you should visit to taste this "AOC" (label) during your stay in France.
