Wines and spirits Calanques

This new wine cellar arrived unexpectedly in December 2022, but once you've stepped through the door, it lives up to all its promises. At the helm is Maxime Agostini, a young wine enthusiast who left the region for a few years to work in the capital, where he honed his wine knowledge, and returned to Marseille to realize his dream of opening his own wine cellar. The advice is expert, with a pleasantly relaxed tone. A fine selection of regional, French and foreign wines. In an unusual move for Marseille, Maxime Agostini sells quite a few Greek wines, having specialized in the field for several years. An opportunity to make new discoveries. As well as wine, spirits and champagne.

The choice of Fontcreuse, a dominant grape variety. For the White the Marsanne, for the Rosé the Grenache, for the Red the Syrah. This strategy wanted by Fontcreuse allows from one year to the next to rediscover the character of the wines of Château de Fontcreuse. The delicate transformation of the fruit into wine, the terroir associated with the grape variety and the know-how of the winemaker are the result of the wines of Fontcreuse. With passion, Fontcreuse combines tradition with perfect respect for yesterday's progress to implement today's progress which will be tomorrow's tradition.

Created in 1951, this family vineyard extends over 7 hectares, mainly composed of terraces on the side of the Couronne de Charlemagne massif. A terroir that gives whites and rosés mineral, ample and well-balanced notes. White white and red wines also have a great reserve. A very good Cassis with a constant quality, whose manufacturing secrets you can discover!

The cave de Baille enlarged and was redesigned as well as for storage spaces for its food and wine bar. With nearly 1,200 references of wines, vintage brandies and spirits.

Here we advise novices for their beginnings in the discovery of the nectar of this nectar, help to choose the ideal bottle, depending on whether it is intended for a man or a woman… and finally we are refining the tastes of connoisseurs to make them discover a bottle more appreciated than the previous one. Indeed, this cellar regularly runs its stock by sourcing from new producers. In short, here the advice is paramount, the welcome is charming and the contents of the cellar enchanting. France is the country of wine par excellence, but not all French are amateurs capable of making the difference between a coteaux-en-provence or a Bordeaux! You can only come out of this place enchanted by the good mood of the boss, and the water in the mouth, impatient to taste this little treasure that was helped to find you.

After soap, if there is one thing associated with the Phocian city, it is pastis! This famous aniseed-flavoured drink, made up of many other secret ingredients, is an ideal gift to take home with you. In this small shop, you will find nearly a hundred pastis and absinthes... and all the delicatessen to make a success of your kemia with Marseille sauce. You should know that the house sells its own pastis (which matures after five months): all you have to do is choose your bottle and one of the home-made pastis (after tasting)!

The family estate has been run for 5 generations by Nicolas Bontoux, assisted by his children Émile, Louise and Joseph, who, with the same determination and drive, develop new cuvées (silver medal winner at the Paris agricultural competition, and gold medal winner at the Lyon 2024 competition); as well as artisanal products grown on the vineyard, such as honey and olive oil. Located on the outskirts of Cassis, this 30-hectare estate, which benefits from clay and silica-limestone soils, was created by Émile Bodin in 1890. The Bodin brand was then registered worldwide.

For over 25 years, the Maison des Vins has offered a selection of almost 400 wines in a pleasant boutique. Here you'll find many of the ten appellations that make up the Cassis AOC (Domaine Bodin, Clos d'Albizzi, Domaine de la Dona Tigana...). Wines from Provence (Bandol, Côtes-de-Provence, Coteaux d'Aix) and many other regions of France, as well as a few foreign wines, complete the store's wide selection. You'll also find spirits, beer and local products (delicatessen).

The new address for wine lovers, more precisely for natural and living wines. A very small, well laid out, uncluttered space, a few industrial shelves with dozens of good references of well-grown and tasty wines. The advice of the house will be able to direct you according to your tastes and preferences. The prices are a little higher than elsewhere but the selection is scrupulous, the references only of quality. Some grocery products on sale to accompany your bottles of wine. A really nice address putting the boulevard Chave a little more on the map of Marseille wines.

Bordeaux, Bourgognes, Alsace wines, Côtes-de-Provence, Côtes-du-rhône, wines from Languedoc… And many others come directly from producers of these names. In addition, the warm and friendly welcome gives preference to the choice of choices through sound advice from real professionals. A true happiness, just a few steps from the church of the Chartreux, for hedonists and epicurists as for curious amateurs. It's also convenient to make a good bottle when you want to bring a good bottle to your friends.

Located under a magnificent porch on rue Sainte, the Caves de l'Abbaye invite you to enter and get lost. A huge barrel at the entrance, then a first room where the bottles are cleverly hung on the walls, followed by a more intimate second: the refined universe radically changes from the other cellars in the city. It should be noted that since the beginning of 2018, the cellar has offered itself a small makeover to welcome you even better and better present its best choices as soon as you enter. As for the wines, we found excellent regional wines and rather judicious choices in other domains of France. To remember, the tasting evenings. Sale of arranged rums and other spirits.

Promoter of properties that are little talked about, discoverer of estates in all the wine-growing regions of France, the Vin Sobre is also a bistro restaurant where you can eat very well. For lunch, you can enjoy local dishes in Saturnin's kitchen. The tasting of the dishes can be organized around the discovery of a little-known wine, with the possibility to consume at the table the bottle of your choice at the boutique price. In the shop, Pinky's advice and all the classics (wines and champagnes) are available among the 400 references as well as a delicatessen section. This address is the pioneer. Two other addresses have opened in Mazargues and towards La Plaine.

Jean-Claude and Nicole welcome you to their beautiful boutique where you'll find wines, spirits, delicatessen, accessories and cellars. Great gift ideas. Enthusiasts know this address well, where you'll find products you can't find anywhere else. In all, over 800 products are on offer. In winter, you'll find fine spirits of all kinds (whiskies, rums, cognacs, armagnacs). In summer, light wines, crémants and champagnes. Among the whiskies, a fine variety of Scotch, Japanese, Irish and French. When it comes to wines, Jean-Claude and Nicole seek out terroir wines. Beers come from small local distilleries, notably the bière de la Plaine. For all budgets. Home delivery. Loyalty card system. Very warm welcome.

Oh, what a brilliant play on words! Over 400 references of natural wines, with a wide selection of magnums. All our wines are organically grown. They are selected with care and passion. The wines are stored and aged peacefully in a natural cellar. The house offers tastings to help you make your choice, and guides you according to your tastes and the food you are preparing. The wines are reasonably priced, starting at €10.

Between the Plain and the descent to Noailles and La Canebière, this small but warm beer cellar awaits you. The choice in craft beer is very vast with a real nice selection for IPA lovers. There are local and French craft beers (Sulauze, l'Agrivoise, La Plaine or La Débauche) as well as international beers (from Canada, Italy, Benelux or the United States). A truly beautiful address for connoisseurs and novices who will also find fine quality, finely selected spirits. Rums and whiskies that will make you change your mind. Good advice from the young owner.

Semi-finalist in the 2016 Best Cellarman competition organised by the French Cellarman's Union, Alexandre Pichon selects for you the best wines from France and elsewhere. He favours wines from small producers at affordable prices, but also offers a few rarities, which are highly prized. As for champagnes, a stratospheric selection, from small producers to great vintages. There is a very good selection of spirits, including about 70 references of rums and about fifty whiskies. Alexandre also offers about forty references of beers!

The pun is really well thought out. Congratulations Sophie for this creativity! Here is the reference wine merchant of the district in the middle of the Vauban boom (another play on occasional words). Clean decoration and wine bottles placed on wooden crates, we come here to taste the best grape varieties and appreciate the wise advice of the mistress of the place, Sophie. Let yourself be guided by the wine for each occasion. Specific aperitifs and tastings are organised regularly, providing an opportunity to immerse yourself in the life of the district and meet its neighbours. In summer, you can enjoy the beautiful terrace in front of the shop, giving a pretty village air to this already appreciated district.
