Appellation help please. France.

Usually I'm stay as a lurker here, but a question for the francophiles.

Just completed an annual mixed case purchase of rose for summer, ( 'is lordship St. H. territory). Usual purchase of Felines Jourdan and Lascaux (languedoc) and came across a new producer that I decided to try:

Le Jarras, Domaine Listel, Vin de Pays des Sables du Golfe du Lion.

OK I've found this is the coastal strip where the Herault fronts the Med. Known as the Camargue. Anybody able to flesh this out with more detail? And, the grape varietal(s) is listed as "Grain de Gris". Can anyone expand on this, normal for the appellation? Haven't opened one yet, so no TN.

cheers greybeard.

Listel is your basic low end wine here, though better than most in its category. Variety is grenache with some carignan probably, to give it some zing. You can get it for about 4 bucks here. Honest industrial production with on pretension to be anything other than what it is, simple wine, goes down easy.

Excellent, thanks for your input gents.

Getting very dry here in the metropolis, your lordship. How goes it in the winterless north?
