Winemaking

Picpoul is fermented cool to preserve its natural acidity and aromatic freshness. The wine is typically bottled young and unoaked, letting the grape and the coastal terroir speak plainly.

Serving & Pairing

Serve well chilled, between 45 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. No decanting needed. Pour this with oysters and raw shellfish, where the salinity and acidity sing, or with a simple grilled fish and lemon. It is equally good with a casual meal of cheese and charcuterie on a warm afternoon.

The Estate

Font Mars is a producer in the Picpoul de Pinet appellation, working within the region's tradition of making bright, mineral whites suited to their coastal location.

Terroir

Picpoul de Pinet lies on the coast of Languedoc near the Mediterranean, where cool sea breezes and proximity to salt air shape the wine's character. The soils are limestone and clay, and that mineral foundation combined with maritime influence produces wines with distinctive salinity and keen acidity.
