This allows to wine to develop greater depth and weight, and making it a bit more robust compared to the Classic Blanc.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e”A Mediterranean white in a cashmere sweater” according to Dustin Soiseth of Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat does a row of striped beach chairs on a pristine Mediterranean beach taste like?

Only a dozen \u003cem\u003evignerons\u003c\/em\u003e today are fortunate enough to produce AOC Cassis, and the small quantities available are largely consumed locally with fresh fish—the best way to enjoy them. The Sack-Zafiropulo family has been making wine here for four generations and continues to craft whites of grace and finesse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViticulture and vinification at Clos Sainte Magdeleine are under the direction of Jonathan Sack, who took the reins from his father, François, in 2008. The domaine bottles both whites and rosés, the latter of which are especially limited. The seaside location and abundant limestone yield delicate, mineral wines perfumed of wild herbs and flowers, with a trademark saline finish. Clos Sainte Magdeleine’s success lies in an uncanny ability to capture a dichotomous nerve \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e sun-kissed unctuousness in their wines, making them both incredibly food-friendly and delicious entirely on their own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13.0% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Sainte Magdeleine","offers":[{"title":"2021","offer_id":48008286666996,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/7451\/5700\/files\/magdeleinebelarme_1.webp?v=1776610784","url":"https:\/\/goodhombre.wine\/products\/cassis-blanc-bel-arme","provider":"Good Hombre Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
