Picpoul de Pinet white wine, in the heart of Languedoc
On the shores of the Etang de Thau, on the Mediterranean coast, the prestigious AOC Picpoul de Pinet vineyards cover more than 1,300 ha. Situated right in the center of the SÈTE - PÉZENAS - AGDE triangle, it is the largest Picpoul white wine region in the Languedoc. Thanks to white winemaking, winegrowers have been able to make the most of this extraordinary territory. Each year, this AOC produces 70,000 hl of picpoul de pinet white wine, with a yield of 60 hl per ha.AOC Picpoul de Pinet and its two great terroirs
The ancient "Domitian" Roman road divides the area into two main terroirs. To the north is a large area of alternating pine forests and garrigues, where vineyards rest on soils of Miocene or Cretaceous origin. With less maritime influence, this region of contrasts boasts lush vegetation typical of the Mediterranean climate. To the south, a homogeneous zone opens out onto the sea. Covered by Picpoul de Pinet vines, sea fogs and breezes temper its mild climate. As for the soil, it was formed in the Pliocene by continental fluvial deposits.The region's climate
The region's Mediterranean climate is characterized by low rainfall (600 mm on average) and mild winters. Summers tend to be dry. The influence of the sea is crucial, as it reduces daily temperature variations:An exquisite Pinet wine with a unique grape variety
Visit Picpoul de Pinet is an aromatic, dry, acid-free wine. It is made exclusively from the Picpoul grape variety, which is cultivated using the short pruning method, of which the Cave de l'Ormarine is a fine example. The wine has always been a benchmark among shellfish lovers, who enjoy it with local oysters from the Etang de Thau. Its splendid floral and citrus aromas blend perfectly with its lively mouthfeel and the pronounced iodized taste of seafood.More information on the Picpoul de Pinet
