About the Producer

The history of this cellar begins in 1952, when the private cellar of Les Sablons became a cooperative cellar.

Subsequently, it merged with two other cooperative cellars in Aigues-Mortes, the Saint Louis cellar and the Môle cellar, to form the SABLEDOC entity.

The Sablons sales cellar opened in 2004 allowing people to discover their range of Vins des Sables DUNE, local products, and to highlight local artists. Between 2006 and 2007, the merger between the Remparts cooperative cellar and the Sabledoc group took place. In 2008, at the foot of the fortified town of Aigues-Mortes, the Remparts cellar was built following the demolition of the old cellar.

Today, around a hundred cooperators are writing the history of the DUNE brand.

Vineyard and Winery

This wine is produced in the beautiful and rugged Camargue in South of France. The Camargue is a wild and natural environment surrounded by abundant wildlife including flamingos and the world-famous wild white horses. The famously sandy dune soils of Camargue have been deposited by the sea and the wind. These are poor soils, almost devoid of silt and clay. Free-draining and mobile, they have prevented the encroachment of phylloxera since the late 1800s. Dune's fruit is grown on two plots, L'Abbé and Les Sablons. Machine-harvested and refrigerated before a light pneumatic pressing to achieve a delicate wine with as little oxidation as possible. Several rackings and cold settlings are carried out before fermentation. Fermentation is slow and cool, lasting two to three weeks.
