The Marès family began making wine in Algeria during the early 20th century and would later acquire properties in Bordeaux (Château Puy Castéra) and in Costières de Nîmes, where they founded the renowned winery that produces this wine. This heat of this region is offset by cool breezes from the Petite Camargue: the large river delta where the Rhône River meets the Mediterranean. The whites here tend to be quite ripe, with a range of tropical fruit flavours.
