"A sparkling 100% Piquepoul offering superb value for money—prepare to be pleasantly surprised!"

This traditional method, with its subtle and discreet nose, is characterized by aromas of fresh white-fleshed fruits and dried fruits. The attack is soft and fresh, then notes of lightly roasted hazelnuts develop, followed by a delicate bitterness characteristic of Piquepoul.

About the estate:

Founded in 1922, L'Ormarine—formerly known as the Association des producteurs de vins blancs de Pinet (Association of White Wine Producers of Pinet)—is a major player in defending the Picpoul-de-Pinet appellation. Following mergers with the Villeveyrac (2009) and Cournonterral (2014) wineries, then in 2017 with the Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort and Vias wineries, it now has 500 members and 2,500 hectares, 520 of which are dedicated solely to the Piquepoul grape variety.
