Picpoul de Pinet Languedoc-Roussillon France 750ml

Picpoul de Pinet is a crisp, dry white wine produced from the Picpoul (Piquepoul) grape variety within the Picpoul de Pinet AOC, a prized sub-appellation of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. The name "Picpoul" translates roughly to "lip-stinger" in Occitan, a nod to the grape's characteristically vibrant acidity. Grown along the sun-drenched shores of the Étang de Thau lagoon near the Mediterranean coast, the vines benefit from a warm maritime climate that ripens the fruit while preserving its natural freshness.

This wine is known for its pale golden color with green highlights and an aromatic profile featuring notes of citrus, white peach, lemon zest, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate it is lively and refreshing, with brisk acidity, a mineral edge, and a clean, zesty finish. It is typically vinified in stainless steel to maintain its characteristic freshness and is best enjoyed young and well chilled. Picpoul de Pinet is a classic pairing with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, light pasta dishes, and fresh chèvre.

Costco offers this wine in a case format of 12 bottles, each 750ml, making it an excellent value for entertaining or stocking a cellar with a versatile everyday white wine.
