Limited Time Offer La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet 2022/23 Fresh Release

The grapes for the La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet grow close to the commune of Mﾨﾨze on a chalky plateau. The proximity of the zone to the Mediterranean sea means cool maritime breezes moderate the climate, making it ideal for growing the Piquepoul white grape variety. The grapes were harvested at night to ensure they were cool when they arrived at the winery. Fermented took place in stainless steel tanks which ensured no oxidation of the precious stone fruit character. The wine then rested on the fine lees for several months prior to bottling. This Picpoul is a vibrant yellow in colour with youthful hues. On the nose are fresh aromas of citrus fruit such as lime and grapefruit. The palate is full but extremely well balanced, with fresh acidity and a mouthwatering, persistent finish.
