Listel Grain de Gris
IGP Sable de Camargue • France
"The soul of the sands: an iconic French rosé distinguished by its extreme freshness, saline minerality, and an ethereal elegance born by the Mediterranean."
The Unique Rosé of the Sands
The Listel Winery is one of France's most unique houses. Located in the wild heart of the Camargue, its vineyards defy conventions by growing directly on purely sandy soils just a few meters from the Mediterranean Sea.
Its flagship wine, Grain de Gris, defines the "Gris" style: rosés of exquisite paleness and vibrant character. This exceptional terroir not only grants unique saline minerality but historically protected the vines from phylloxera, preserving an unparalleled fruit purity in each harvest.
