Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The color is a superb pale yellow with bright hues. The nose is elegant, with aromas of fresh fruit and citrus fruit especially grapefruit. Well-balanced with typical zesty acidity. A pure expression of the grape varietal, the wine shows how good Picpoul can be when grown on its favorite terroir!

Known as the ‘Muscadet of the South’, Picpoul is perfect with oysters and fresh seafood.
