PETITE RONDE PICPOUL DE PINET 2023

Picpoul is one of the oldest indigenous grapes of the Languedoc region; its use recorded in the 17th century. Today it is most famous for the wines produced around the village of Pinet, which is close to the coast, just west of Sète. Unoaked the wine shows a good level of freshness for a wine from such a warm climate, with a citrussy and stone fruit character highlighted with floral notes.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The Picpoul de Pinet typically presents a bright and zesty profile. On the nose, you’ll find aromas of citrus—lemon and lime—combined with green apple, white flowers, and a hint of sea spray or salinity, evoking its coastal origins. On the palate, it’s crisp, light-bodied, and refreshing, with vibrant acidity that gives it a lively, mouthwatering feel. Flavors of lemon zest, grapefruit, and green pear are prominent, often complemented by a subtle minerality and a slightly salty finish, which makes it a fantastic pairing for seafood."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"It's finely scented on the nose, showing fresh fig, lemon pith, lime peel and white floral nuances, leading to an elegantly flowing palate that's liner and persistent. Beautifully framed by saline texture and bright acidity, making it an ideal partner to fresh seafood and summer salads. At its best: now to 2029."
