Listel Grain de Gris
PGI Sable de Camargue • France
"The soul of the sands: an iconic French rosé that stands out for its extreme freshness, saline minerality and ethereal elegance born by the Mediterranean."
The Unique Rosé of the Sands
Listel Winery is one of France's most unique houses. Located in the wild heart of the Camargue, its vineyards defy convention by growing directly on purely sandy soils just 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 provides unique saline minerality, but historically protected the vines from phylloxera, preserving an unparalleled fruit purity in each vintage.
