Eau de Sail - Sail-les-Bains

Sail Water, a rare and gourmet mineral water 

Eau de Sail is a rare natural mineral water, resulting from millenary meteoric precipitation dating back at least 4000 years! This water, of absolute purity, is kept at great depth, in the heart of a preserved territory, in Sail-les-Bains. 

Its perpetual flow, without any human intervention or drilling, is a treasure of nature, which the new team is keen to enhance. Unique in both its history and its properties, Eau de Sail has been coveted for centuries for its virtues and gastronomic qualities. 
 
Its delicate taste, its low salinity allow it to be the ideal drink for transitions between two dishes, two vintages, two moments.  
Indeed, it is consumed at any time of the day, especially during meals at cellar temperature. The great lightness of its bubbles, the finesse of its taste, accompanies dishes and wines, without distorting them with excess sodium or sulphates. 
 
It exists in still and sparkling versions.

Eau de Sail finds its source in the heart of the Domaine de Sail located in Sail les Bains, in the North of Roannais. Originally, the place had been exploited since Gallo-Roman times for its waters with therapeutic virtues. Today, located in the heart of an 18-hectare natural park, the estate is home to 6 different sources of mineral and thermal waters, including the “Source Diane” exclusively dedicated to bottling.

The key dates of an incredible story

  • 1844 : The Count of Hamel buys the domain and the springs with the project of creating a public exploitation of the thermal baths with a luxury hotel,
  • 1848 : Opening of the thermal baths to the public,
  • 1878 : Famous letter from Louis Pasteur who brings his prestigious guarantee to the benefits of water, 
  • 1923 : First sale of bottled water,
  • 2006 : The company is transferred to one of the members of the royal family of Qatar, 
  • 2020 : Acquisition of the company with a new project, based on the codes of tableware.
