WINE DESCRIPTION
The wine originates from the Camargue region (Languedoc) in Montcalm, situated between Aigues-Mortes and Les Saintes Maries de la Mer. The area experiences a Mediterranean climate, well-tempered by the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea, ensuring a balanced ripening of the grapes. Since 2012, the former "Vin de Pays des Sables" (Sand Wine) has received the new appellation "Sable de Camargue." Since then, the wine has been bottled in the attractive new "Grande Camargue" bottle, specifically developed by Maison Jeanjean in collaboration with their glass supplier.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Le Pive
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
