Presentation

It’s one of the great names of the Cassis vineyards, the fruit of tradition, passion, and innovation. Olivier, Jean-Christophe, and Laetitia Santini are the third generation to grow this family estate, which now displays fifty hectares. However, they are not satisfied with simply managing the heritage; they develop it! Bio certified since 2012, thanks to their work and ambition these three have imposed the Paternel’s wines in the best restaurants in the region.

Original and unusual

White " Esprit de Famille" 2013 : Made from selected Clairette, Marsanne, Ugni Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, matured for several months in barrels, the Esprit de Famille incarnates the knowledge acquired over the generations at Domaine du Paternel. It has a white blossom and white-fleshed fruit nose with a toasty undertone. On the palate it shows a voluminous, ample and rounded development on which are built aromas of citrus, spice and flint. With a lovely length and astonishing freshness, it is a great example of the Cassis terroir.
