Listel’s history is unique: in the 19th century, “Les Salins du Midi”, a salt producing company and owner of vast sandy areas throughout Camargue and Sète, sought to extend the use of their lands beyond salt production. After multiple trials, growing vines in the sand and salt turned out to be a magical combination! The first vines were planted in the parcel called “Isles de Stel”, giving birth to the name of Listel. The biological diversity of the Listel’s environment is exceptional: more than 1000 species of flora and fauna are listed, which has been recognized by Natura 2000.
