2024 Domitia Picpoul de Pinet

Aromas of grapefruit, lemon peel, and acacia integrate with savory notes of sea spray and wet sand. The palate is light-bodied and exceptionally crisp, featuring a core of zesty citrus and a distinct stony texture. It displays a bracing acidity and a lean structure that leads to a dry finish marked by a persistent saline snap and a clean, floral lift.

The winemaking team utilizes 100% Piquepoul Blanc, which is harvested at night to preserve its signature high acidity and aromatic freshness. In the cellar, the fruit undergoes a gentle pressing followed by a cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine matures on its fine lees for several months with minimal intervention, a process that adds a subtle weight to the mid-palate while allowing the primary citrus and mineral traits to remain the focus.

The fruit is grown in the Picpoul de Pinet AOC within the Languedoc region of Southern France. The site is defined by its proximity to the Étang de Thau, a saltwater lagoon famous for oyster production. The vineyards sit on limestone and clay plateaus that soak up the Mediterranean sun, while the cooling sea breezes provide the necessary thermal shift to retain the "lip-stinging" acidity for which the variety is named.
