- France > Languedoc
- Picpoul
- A mountain of oysters
A serious Picpoul de Pinet. Don't let the rich aromas of grapefruit, toffee apple and white peach deceive you. The acidity is enticing providing a fresh mouthfeel that will almost certainly have you reaching for another glass.
COLIN'S NOTE
The Picpoul de Pinet vineyards overlook the oyster farms of the Etang de Thau. A classic of the 'grows together, goes together' genre.
IN SHORT
A serious picpoul, beloved by Vagabond-ers
L-AUTRE HUITRE
Domaine de Font Mars has been in the same family since 1864, tucked away just outside Mèze in the Languedoc. The clue’s in the name — “Mars” as in the Roman god, because this land was once a Roman settlement, and “Font” for the natural springs that still bubble through the estate. Today it’s run by Philippe de Clock, whose Belgian winemaking roots go back generations. The estate’s speciality is Picpoul de Pinet, grown a stone’s throw from the Etang de Thau, the oyster capital of France. History, heritage, Romans and oysters — Font Mars has them all, bottled with a dash of southern French sunshine.
