Clos Sainte Magdeleine is probably in one of the most beautiful parts of the Cassis appellation, with the estate overlooking the calanques. This estate has been owned by the same family for four generations and is now considered as one of the best estates in the area. The wines are all produced from certified organic grapes grown on the estate. With these wines you can really feel the presence of the sea, in fact you can see the sea from all of the Clos Ste Magdeleine vineyards.

Cassis is not only an active port, but what Kermit calls “an earthly paradise.” The vineyards of Clos Sainte Magdeleine are particularly stunning: they jut out on a private cape to meet majestic limestone bluffs, poised spectacularly above the sparkling, azure waters. The domaine also has prized holdings on steep terraces carved into the sensational Cap Canaille, France's highest sea cliff perched 400 meters over the Mediterranean. Only a dozen vignerons today are fortunate enough to produce AOC Cassis (the appellation covers just 215 hectares), and the small quantities available are largely consumed locally with fresh fish—the best way to enjoy them.
