Wines and spirits Aigues Mortes

The vine grows on the sand! Sand wines have been known and appreciated since the 14th century. This terroir produces an original wine with a subtle aroma in which the image of the sandy coast on which it was made is reflected, a barrier coastline that runs along the Gulf of Lion between Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Cap d'Agde. The siliceous sands and limestone that make up the soil and the marine micro-climate constitute a natural environment, unique in France.

Jarras is a sandy vineyard steeped in history. This estate produces a unique wine, made from vines planted in the sands of the Camargue. It offers you soft grey wines, pale coloured wines which reveal all their finesse... It is one of the most beautiful wine estates and is home to an incredible flora and fauna. You will discover this magnificent estate during a visit on board a small train. This guided tour continues with a visit to the historic cellars and ends with a tasting of the estate's wines.

Domaine du Petit-Chaumont covers 120 hectares in the Aire des Sables area, facing Lac du Ponant. In a spirit of respect for nature, Brigitte and Nathalie have opted for organic farming, obtaining the AB label in 2011. Their know-how, both in growing the vines and handling the grapes, enables them to produce wines bursting with sugar and sunshine, quality and prestige beverages, with the Nef Saint-Louis range, the Flamants series and the Prestige cuvées.

A true island of Camargue nature spread over 39 hectares, the Grand Corbière estate recently changed its name to Domaine Terres de Sable. But it is still a major sand wine production site. This mythical estate was taken over in 2019 by the Leygue family, passionate about the subject, who dreamed of owning their own estate. It is thanks to a very fertile soil, made of siliceous sands, limestone and thanks to a marine micro-climate, that the grapes can ripen in this unique natural environment in France.

Le Caveau is at the heart of the "Vin des Sables" appellation. Here, you can taste the wines of the sands, and in particular the famous gris de gris produced by the winegrowers of the Sabledoc winery (an entity born of the merger of the Sablons, Saint-Louis and du Môle wineries). The cellar also offers the chance to discover other products of the Camargue terroir: fleur de sel, rice, olive oil, Cartagène and bull sausage. A veritable temple for those wishing to learn more about Vins des Sables and, more generally, the Camargue identity!
