The Ferme Blanche Estate
Founded in 1714 by the Paret family. Cassis is the first A.O.C. white wine of Provence, established in 1936. One might say Cassis is a viticulture outpost, only 410 acres in size. Cassis historically has been expensive for a number of reasons: 

• because of its size, it has not attracted the negociants and, therefore, has no price supports. 

• there has always been a strong local market, especially in the area of the French Riviera and the restaurants in Cassis. Consequently, the wine is never cheap, but always delicious. 

"The largest estate in Cassis; the Paret family continues the traditional reputation of Cassis for fresh white wines." - Anthony Dias Blue's pocket guide to wine 2006

The Ferme Blanche Vineyard
