Why We Stock It

Picpoul de Pinet is built for warm days and seafood, and Guillaume Cabrol's version delivers exactly what the appellation does best at a fair price. The saline edge and bright acidity make it far more than a simple quaff, with enough character to stand alone or disappear gracefully behind a meal.

Tasting Profile

A wine of salt air and citrus brightness, with the clarity you expect from a coastal white.

• Aroma: Bright citrus and green apple with subtle saline minerality
• Palate: Crisp and refreshing, white peach and lemon with mineral backbone
• Structure & Finish: Clean, mineral-driven finish with excellent acidity

Winemaking

Picpoul is fermented cool to preserve its natural acidity and aromatic freshness, a regional practice that suits the wine's role as a food-friendly aperitif. The wine is bottled young and meant to drink in its first year or two, when those citrus and mineral qualities are most vivid.

Serving & Pairing

Serve chilled between 48 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit, no decanting needed. It is at home with oysters and raw shellfish, but equally good with a simple lemon chicken or grilled fish on a summer evening. The wine's acidity cuts through salt and richness without demanding attention.

The Estate

Guillaume Cabrol is a grower in Picpoul de Pinet, farming in the appellation's distinctive coastal vineyards where Mediterranean sea breezes shape the character of the wine.

Terroir

Picpoul de Pinet sits near the coast of southern France, where limestone and clay soils mixed with sea spray create the saline edge that defines the appellation. The Mediterranean climate brings long, warm growing seasons, but the proximity to the water keeps the nights cool enough to preserve acidity and freshness in the wine.
