Domaine de Moulines
Figuerasse is located immediately beside the sea on the sands of the petit Camargue. The locals include flamingoes and the white horses of the Camargue. This is an ecological balancing act. The Grenache Gris vines grow close to the beach on barely 80cm of sand below which is a thin layer of fresh, ground water. If this fresh water is absent the vines will draw from the underlying salt water. That would spell disaster. But it is about balance as this location adds that touch of salinity that is unique.
