Winery Overview
Domaine Royal de Jarras is uniquely situated in Aigues-Mortes, in the heart of the Camargue region in southern France. The estate boasts 1,060 acres of vineyards stretching along the Mediterranean Sea, in an area renowned for its rich biodiversity. The cuvées are named "Pink Flamingo" in honor of the iconic birds that inhabit the region. Since 2019, the estate has been certified organic, demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship and biodiversity preservation.
Vineyard
The vines at Domaine Royal de Jarras are exceptionally unique, planted in the sands of Camargue where they have naturally resisted phylloxera, the pest that has devastated vineyards worldwide. This allows the estate to work with almost forgotten grape varieties from non-grafted stocks. The vineyard is situated on sand bars in an unobstructed environment between sea and lagoon, a place steeped in history dating back to the Crusades and the reign of Louis IX of France.

This meticulous process allows for the creation of a rosé that perfectly balances freshness, delicacy, and smoothness.

We strive to create wines that reflect the unique character of our land while respecting the delicate balance of nature around us."
