Piquepoul has been around since before the reign of Louis XIV, but in 1618 the botanist Magnol described it as one of the most renowned grape varieties in Languedoc in his work Sylve Plantarium. This wine has a pale yellow colour with hints of green. Deliciously fresh on the palate with beautiful notes of lemon and an invigorating finish.
In order to minimise the risk of oxidation, the grapes are harvested at the time of day when the temperatures are coolest (night and early morning) and taken to the cellar as quickly as possible. The bunches are immediately pressed in a pneumatic press. The must is then put into fermentation, which takes place at low temperatures (16 and 18°) to preserve the aromas as much as possible. The wine is matured in stainless steel tanks on fine lees before being bottled in the spring.
