Picpoul de Pinet

Picpoul de Pinet is a small, distinctive appellation located in the Languedoc region of southern France, situated around the Thau lagoon near the Mediterranean coast. The terroir features a warm Mediterranean climate with cooling maritime influences, and calcareous-clay soils that provide excellent drainage for the region's signature Piquepoul Blanc grape (also spelled Picpoul). The appellation exclusively produces crisp, refreshing white wines with notable acidity, saline minerality, and citrus flavors that pair wonderfully with the local seafood.
