Presentation
Presentation
It’s unusual to find a white wine from a hot area which has a refreshing, crisp character, but that’s exactly what the grape Piquepoul delivers from the Languedoc in the deep south of France! Grenache Gris provides a fuller texture, oiliness and more stone fruit characteristics. The two complement each other making a balanced yet weighty white scented with fresh lemon and hedgerow blossom, with citrus and apple flavors and a salty edge.
Winemaking
"Harvests are made by hand relatively early to keep the freshness and the balance, very simple wine making with no technology: of course with our brilliant natural yeasts, no sulfites during fermentation – just a little bit during aging and before bottling. Only the pure expression of the terroir drives my decisions." says Bruno.

Tasting
The nose reveals a refreshing and enticing blend of lemon, white pepper, crushed stone, chalk, and white flowers. The delicate palate showcases a mineral-driven character and a subtle chalky texture, accentuated by the vibrant taste of freshly squeezed lemon. Subtle hints of white flowers and herbal notes linger in the background, while the tingling acidity harmoniously combines with a touch of smoothness. This delectable wine is a perfect match for oysters.
