Question 1
The Cassis AOP is historically paired with bouillabaisse because:
A
The Marsanne and Clairette grapes used in Cassis white are the only varieties legally permitted alongside fish stew in Marseille
B
Cassis is the only AOP geographically close enough to Marseille to have historically served the dish, and the wine's salinity and minerality complement the stew's saffron and fennel character
C
The high alcohol in Cassis white acts as a palate cleanser between courses in a traditional bouillabaisse service
D
Bouillabaisse regulations require a specific Cassis vintage to accompany the traditional presentation
