The Zafiropulo family originally had interests in the industrial sector in Greece, but settled in Marseille in the 19th century. Since they immigrated, four generations have been dedicated to the production of great white wines in Cassis.

The family’s passion and dedication in developing white wines and rosés has been rewarded several times, receiving distinctions for quality during wine competitions and fairs.

Today, François Sack and his wife Georgina - a descendant of the domain’s founders - are in charge of the vineyard. Originally from Paris, François has been improving the quality of the wine produced by the vineyard for 35 years.

With the help of both his sons, Jonathan and Grégoire, this "wine lover" has been passing on a savoir-faire and keeping independence to guarantee the future of the family’s vineyard.
