"A lively 100% Piquepoul with superb value for the price—let it surprise you!"
This traditional method, with its subtle and delicate bouquet, is characterized by aromas of fresh white-fleshed fruits and dried fruits. The palate opens with a soft and fresh attack, followed by notes of lightly toasted hazelnuts and a delicate bitterness unique to Piquepoul.

About the estate:
Founded in 1922, L'Ormarine—formerly the Association of White Wine Producers of Pinet—is a major player in the protection of the Picpoul-de-Pinet appellation. Following mergers with the Villeveyrac (2009) and Cournonterral (2014) wineries, and then in 2017 with the Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort and Vias wineries, it now comprises 500 members and manages 2,500 hectares, 520 of which are dedicated solely to the Picpoul grape variety.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on January 28, 2025
Very, very fine bubbles, almost imperceptible; this likely explains why the tasting notes recommend decanting it. The nose is subtle.
