Once Upon A Wine by ADVINI
GASSIER
Cuvée 946
Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire
laroche Chablis Saint Martin


Château Gassier is located a few kilometres from the city of a thousand fountains, Aix-en-Provence, and bears the values of the French Riviera and the Provencal Art de Vivre. The vines flourish on an exceptional terroir, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. It is at an altitude of 946 metres, perched at the top of its western peak, that the Croix de Provence rises. In its Cuvée 946, Château Gassier has sought above all to capture all the elegance and the finest expression of the Sainte-Victoire terroir.
