CLOS SAINTE MAGDELEINE: A UNIQUE HISTORY AND SITUATION

The situation of Clos Saint Magdeleine is just unique! On the slopes of Cape Canaille, overlooking the bay of blackcurrant with a breathtaking view, Domaine Sainte Magdeleine is planted in restanques facing the sea... The Clos St Magdeleine belongs to the Zafiropulo family since 1920. For four generations, the Zafiropulo, a family of Greek industrialists, have developed the most famous Cassis white wines. After Costia Zafiropulo (until 1975), her daughter Georgina helped her husband François Sack (until 2010), Jonathan SACK, now ensures the continuity of the estate.

A GREAT TERROIR THAT MADE THE FAME OF CLOS ST MAGDELEINE

Clos Sainte Magdeleine Cassis is distinguished by its immediate proximity to the sea, its terroir consists mainly of sandy marnes and sandstone. These are soils suitable for viticulture and especially for the production of great white wines from Provence. Cassis wines from Clos Saint Magdeleine are organically grown, leaving room for the saline and mineral footprint of cultivated soils. The vinifications and farms then take place in underground cellars dating from the 19th century, thanks to last generation equipment. Indeed, the wines of Clos St Magdeleine are the fruit of several long-term farming techniques and respect for traditions, as far as winemaking is concerned.
