The 2025 Benjamin Darnault Picpoul de Pinet is a vibrant coastal white from the Languedoc in southern France, produced from the indigenous Piquepoul Blanc grape. Fresh aromas of pear skin, Granny Smith apple and lime are complemented by delicate white flowers and a subtle marine character.
On the palate, it is light-bodied, crisp and mouth-watering, with lively lemon and green apple flavours supported by bright acidity. Hints of sea spray and stony minerality add complexity, leading to a clean, zesty and refreshing finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy fresh, dry and citrus-driven white wines. Serve well chilled and enjoy now or within the next two years while its fruit and acidity remain at their most vibrant. A natural match for oysters, mussels, prawns, grilled fish, calamari, sushi, Mediterranean salads or soft cheeses.
