This is an absolutely lovely little bar/caviste, and I regret that I was not staying in Cassis,…read moreotherwise I would have been back every night! There was an extremely friendly propriétaire, and when I told her of my passion for wines of the region we had a long chat. I was interested in marcs from Bandol, which I never see in the states, and she happily offered me a taste of the marc from Château de Pibarnon. The 'grand cru' wines from the area - Domaine de Trévallon with some age, Château Simone, cuvée Cabassaou from Domaine Tempier, for example - aren't readily found in the cavistes in the region, lots make it to fancy restaurant wine lists and are exported, so it was great to see a nice little selection here. I walked away with some prize bottles that I enjoyed throughout the week. And the bottle of marc that I 'imported' myself to the US. :)
This place was a little jewel, with a kind and generous patronne, and I will happily return on my next visit.
