Brilliant yellow with green reflections, and a characteristically Picpoul nose of acacia flowers and broom with citrus notes emerging before finishing on mint, star anise and marine, iodized notes. Very fresh and smooth in the mouth, opening on exotic fruit such as mango, papaya and pineapple and finishing with a lightly lemony, mineral, salinity. An excellent Picpoul for drinking as an aperitif or at table with all seafood and fish, or cheese. A reminder (contrary to popular belief) that this grape variety develops very well over time, and will only gain in complexity after one or two years in bottle.
