The gris de gris
A fruity wine with aromas of white fruits
“ELLES”… a cuvée born from the family history of the estate and a passion passed down from generation to generation. Nathalie is delighted to introduce you to this Gris, a specialty of the Sable de Camargue wines, featuring a pale pink color enhanced with beautiful mauve highlights. Its nose reveals notes of flowers, wild strawberries, and lingonberries. Well-balanced on the palate, where roundness and freshness blend harmoniously, it opens with flavors of exotic fruits and raspberry. The “ELLES” Gris, a specialty of the AOP Sable de Camargue, stands out with its bright salmon-apricot hue.
This fruity wine with aromas of white fruits (peach, pear, etc.) goes wonderfully with a tapenade salad and all your fish-based salads. It will also be very pleasant as an aperitif. For a more exhaustive presentation, we offer a page specific to this wine.
