Bouillabaisse & Cassis & Bandol
Marseille bouillabaisse, rich in saffron, rouille and rockfish, pairs with Provencal whites. A white Cassis or white Palette, wines from the same Mediterranean coast, support the saffron and anise aromas of the soup.

Sommelier tip
Bouillabaisse is a bold-flavoured dish. A wine too light will be overwhelmed by the saffron and rouille. White Cassis, with its assertive character, is the only truly local pairing.
