Rain falls on the slopes of the Sainte-Victoire mountain, above the sun-drenched Provençal landscape. Here, at the surface, the journey of 808 begins.
The water descends slowly through layer upon layer of ancient limestone. Over millennia, the stone filters it drop by drop, lending a gentle, balanced minerality as it goes.
Far below the surface, the water passes beneath the level of modern agriculture and industry. No nitrate, no pesticide, no PFAS reaches these depths — protection is geological, not technical.
At 808 meters, the water gathers in Europe's deepest protected artesian source. Held under natural pressure, it will rise on its own to be bottled at Meyreuil — exactly as nature composed it.

Fine Sparkling is 99.7% water and 0.3% CO₂ — carbonation kept deliberately light so the aromatics of the source are never masked.
A gentle dry residue of 244.8 mg/L places 808 among the lightly mineralised waters: on the palate, that reads as freshness and lightness rather than weight. Its naturally balanced pH of 7.6 gives a rounded, neutral finish — the reason 808 sits so easily on a water menu and beside the finest cuisine, where a heavier water would interfere with the food.
