The 2025 Domaine Félines Jourdan Picpoul de Pinet Classique is a vibrant French white wine from the Picpoul de Pinet appellation in Languedoc, southern France. Produced by the family-owned Domaine Félines Jourdan, situated near the Mediterranean coast and the Étang de Thau lagoon, this wine is crafted from Piquepoul Blanc, a grape variety celebrated for its naturally lively acidity and distinctive citrus character. Its anticipated aromatic profile suggests fresh lemon, crisp green apple, white grapefruit and juicy pear, complemented by delicate notes of citrus blossom, sea breeze and subtle Mediterranean herbs.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing texture. Flavours of zesty lemon, lime, green apple and white peach unfold alongside hints of grapefruit peel, delicate floral notes and subtle saline minerality. Its bright citrus character is balanced by gentle orchard-fruit flavours, creating an elegant, dry white wine with excellent freshness. The finish is lively and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of lemon zest, fresh herbs and a delicate coastal salinity.
