The 2024 Réserve Delsol Picpoul de Pinet is a bright and refreshing white from the Mediterranean coast of southern France. Produced from 100% Picpoul Blanc by the acclaimed Foncalieu cooperative, the wine is sourced from vineyards surrounding the Étang de Thau lagoon, where cooling sea breezes help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Unoaked and crafted to emphasise purity and vibrancy, it is a classic expression of one of France’s most seafood-friendly white wines.
The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and lime blossom alongside delicate floral notes and hints of sea spray. The palate is crisp and lively, with bright citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by vibrant acidity and a distinctive saline mineral edge. Light-bodied and refreshing, it finishes clean, zesty and wonderfully mouth-watering.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A fantastic coastal white that delivers freshness, flavour and exceptional value. Its vibrant acidity and saline character make it a natural partner for oysters, prawns, grilled fish, calamari, seafood platters and fresh summer salads. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2027 while its bright fruit and Mediterranean freshness are at their peak.
