Duc de Morny 2016 reveals aromas of exotic fruit, pepper and candied citrus zest on the nose and palate. Fresh and well-balanced, its delicately acidic finish is typical of wines from this terroir. The perfect companion for shellfish!

About the domain :

A cooperative founded in 1922, L'Ormarine - then the Association des producteurs de vins blancs de Pinet - is a major player in the defense of the picpoul-de-pinet appellation. After merging with the caves of Villeveyrac (2009) and Cournonterral (2014), and then in 2017 with the caves of Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort and Vias, it now has 500 cooperative members and 2,500 ha, 520 of which are dedicated to the picpoul grape alone.

lovely discovery, super fresh for a wine from the sun, nice acidity, reminds me of a muscadet sur lie. an appellation to discover. perfect for an aperitif with prawns.
