Château Grès Saint-Paul

A medieval heritage
During the Middle Ages a small church was erected along the antique Domitian Way between Nîmes and Montpellier in the heart of Languedoc Roussillon and named Saint-Paul de Cabrières.
To give evidence to this bygone monument the domain that was built on its ruins bears its name today : Château Grès-Saint Paul. Property of the Servière family since 1830, the vineyards are situated in the commune of Lunel lying over the first tray bordering the Mediterranean Sea and overlooking the Camargue and Etang de L'Or.
