AOP Picpoul de Pinet – Languedoc, France 🇫🇷
Overview
From vineyards near the village of Montagnac, this classic southern French white delivers the refreshing character Picpoul is known for.
Aromas & Flavors
Crisp green apple, citrus zest, and a touch of saline minerality. Clean and lively with a seaside freshness.
Mouthfeel
Bright, zippy acidity with a light body that keeps the wine super easy to drink. Very quaffable and refreshing.

Perfect with oysters, grilled shrimp, mussels, or simply enjoyed chilled on a sunny patio.
Verdict
A delightful expression of Picpoul de Pinet, straightforward, crisp, and made for seafood lovers and warm afternoons.
Did You Know?
The name Picpoul literally means “lip stinger” in Occitan, a nod to the grape’s naturally high acidity.

Lip smacking delicious! Pale yellow green straw. Loads of citrus and minerals, aromatic flowers, and honeydew. I always enjoy this wine, from a region that is often overlooked.
