2007 Domaine du Bagnol CASSIS (Provence, France)


A flavorful, balanced, easy-going white from a tiny appellation near Marseille.

Light, bright gold. Ripe, soft nose of earthy peach and pear fruit, flowers, and bath powder. A soft, broad, low-acid mouthfeel, with ripe apple/pear fruit and a clean, lightly-minerally finish. Very easy to drink. Were it cheaper, it would be a great party white with broad appeal, and would also be ridiculously good with spicy Asian food. 88. Was $25 at Spec's on Smith, making it kind of pricy for such a casual style. Imported by Neal Rosenthal Selections.

Hello from a fellow Houston foodie. I share your love of inexpensive wines. I love to have a wine night where the wines are less than 15 bucks a bottle. This sounds like a bottle that would be perfect for a special dinner at home.
