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.

Food Pairings
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.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
A fantastic patio companion, crispy, fresh, and wonderfully drinkable. Cheers! — 6 days ago
