The Cassis Clos Val Bruyère from Chateau Barbanau is an exquisite expression of the unique terroir of Cassis, a small wine-growing area on the Mediterranean coast of France. This white wine is primarily made from Marsanne grapes, complemented by a selection of Clairette and Ugni Blanc, cultivated on limestone soils that imbue the wine with a vibrant minerality.

Upon tasting, the Cassis Clos Val Bruyère reveals surprising complexity. Its aromatic palette is a delightful interweaving of floral notes, with hints of jasmine and wildflowers, along with fruity sensations of white peach and light citrus. On the palate, the wine presents itself as fresh and well-balanced, with a robust yet elegant structure and a persistent mineral note that invites a second sip.

Ideal as an aperitif, this wine pairs beautifully with seafood, fish-based dishes, or as an elegant accompaniment to a refined dinner. The limited production and meticulous attention to detail make it an exemplary choice for wine enthusiasts seeking quality and uniqueness in flavors. It is a testament to the excellence that Cassis viticulture can offer.

Winery history
The first vines in the area date back to Roman times. In the 20th century the estate passed to local families; the castle was restored by Lucien Cerciello in the late 1980s. At the end of 2022 the property was relaunched by Romain and Barbara Tchénio, who renovated the vineyard and built a new partially underground cellar to showcase the estate’s historical and viticultural heritage.
Production philosophy
Low-intervention practices, respect for biodiversity and a biodynamic approach. The estate prioritizes natural soil management, spring sheep grazing, hedgerows and nectar-producing plants to promote ecosystem balance and to adapt the vineyard to climate change.
Terroir and vineyards
Situated at the westernmost edge of the Côtes de Provence appellation, on the Roquefort-la-Bédoule plateau between sea and hillside, the estate lies between the calanques of Cassis and the Sainte-Baume Natural Park, at elevations of approximately 360–400 metres above sea level.
