PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Gassier family bought Château Gassier and its 40 hectares of vines in 1982. Today the vineyard is managed by Georges Gassier, who represents the fifth winegrowing generation of the family, working with the support from his father. It is only over time that passion, hard work and know-how combined, have helped Château Gassier to develop its exceptional potential for excellence.
 
Nestling in the foothills of the famous Mount Sainte Victoire, in the heart of a magnificent environment, a few kilometres only from Aix-en-Provence, the Château Gassier's 40 hectares vineyard benefits from this unique terroir. Perched at top of its western peak, at 946m, the Croix de Provence, proud and protectful looks after the vines of the estate. It's first of all the elegance and the most beautiful expression of the St Victoire terroir that Château Gassier captures in its cuvée 946.
