François Paret and his daughter Jeromine own one of the largest of the 13 Cassis estates, and one which has managed to retain its position despite encroaching urban development. Its white wines, which form up to 70% of the production, show typical Cassis character with honey, white peaches and citrus character, and developing character with age.
