Picpoul de Pinet Terrasses de La Mer

Cave de l’Ormarine

Bright straw colour. Flavours of citrus, tropical fruits and subtle floral aromas. The mouth is intensly refreshing and well balanced, showing lovely floral fruit and minerality and layered with zesty acidity.

Enjoy with a traditional prawn cocktail.

The harvest starts early , usually late August or early September depending on the weather and vintage in order to get ripe grapes with a fresh acidity. The grapes are destemmed, pressed and cooled at 10 °C. in steel tank. Within 24 hours, the juice gets statically clarified and is then sent to fermentation which lasts 10 to 15 days. Once ferment is over, the wine is settled in tank for 2 weeks prior to bottling.

Jancisrobinson.com, 2025, 15.5 points: "A pretty little apples-and-pears number with soft but fresh acidity. Picpoul de Pinet is always described in the context of summer and shellfish but tasting this on a dark, cold, December night, I actually think it works very well as a winter wine too – it goes very nicely with fish pie and yesterday was a friendly accompaniment to an apple, celeriac and cumin salad. And it's practically at a giveaway price."
