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 also historically protected the vines from phylloxera, preserving unparalleled fruit purity in every harvest.
