The old Bühler cellars and winegrowing in the Camargue

It is at the end of the 19th century. that the Camargue, hitherto dedicated mainly to the cultivation of wheat, turns to the vine. The possibility of flooding the lands via the proximity of the Rhone, allowed from the 1870s, to drown the phylloxera parasite larvae that ravaged the vineyard throughout France. The Camargue vineyard was able to flourish (8000 ha in 1930) as illustrated by the presence of the old Bühler cellars, one of the largest vineyards in the Camargue.
