Clos Sainte-Magdeleine - Vins blanc et vins rosé de Cassis

We were so pleased to discover that the Clos Ste Magdeleine winery was easily reached on foot from the town of Cassis as the wine has been recommended to us and we wanted to try something local. A really lovely lady helped us find a bottle of something to our taste (and budget) as they have a few available to try - and very patiently put up with my appalling attempts to originally converse in French! Don't be put off by the closed door. Just ring the buzzer and you'll be let in! We ended up with a great bottle of their white wine - highly recommended.

Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Clos Sainte-Magdeleine. We were welcomed by Camille who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the peculiarities of the wine production. All wines were stunners! Particularly liked Bel-Arme and Baume-Noire, very different from each other but equally pleasant.

Camille was beyond warm and welcoming! We came during the off season when tours were unavailable, yet she provided us with so much information about the wines we were purchasing. She even gave us a small taste of a few! Afterwords she walked us out- but before saying goodbye, she showed us a lovely view on the side of the building overlooking the ocean and provided us with restaurant recommendations! Lovely experience.

Should have read the newer reviews before going. We were recommended to visit by the Cassis tourist information centre, they said bookings aren't required so we walked there today (Saturday 17th September) to find the door closed and no answer to the doorbell or intercom despite being there during the opening times as posted on the door. It would have been useful to at least have a sign on the door saying it was closed. For the owners - you may want to tell the information centre and hotels that you aren't open as they are recommending visits to you!

We really love the wine. The tasting was great and you really feel their passion in what they are doing. They do not have a parking spot so this can be tricky at a sunny day. Cassis has a lot of beach tourists coming by car

We attempted to visit this vineyard for a scheduled tour and tasting on Saturday 15 July at 11am as advertised on the website. We arrived at 10:40 and were stopped at the gate and rather than put our names down and being invited to wait in the tasting room, sent away and told to come back at 11:00 when the tour started, despite the fact the sign on the door said they were open for business. When we returned promptly at 11:00 a sign had been put on the door saying closed until noon due to a tour in progress. We rang the bell and the same person greeted us and told us the tour was now full! We asked why we had been sent away and asked to return if this was the case. In return for our troubles we were offered a free tasting at noon. We returned promptly at noon and rang the bell multiple times and were completely ignored for over ten minutes. Another worker unlocked the gate to let herself in but did not invite us in. Again, the sign by the gate said they were open for business this entire time. We were shocked by the rudeness with which we were treated on our holiday in Cassis, and wasted a lot of time walking to and from the vineyard. We would therefore not recommend this vineyard for visits to anyone.

I discovered the “Bel Arme” in a nice restaurant in Tokyo. Really great wine, went very well with our dinner. Thank you !

Very friendly somelier, happy to answer any questions. The wine was very fruity and high quality, perhaps a bit expensive. Worth a detour from Cassis centre ville.
