This refreshing Picpoul is the perfect warm weather wine!

This week’s Wine of the Week features 2020 Moulin De Gassac Picpoul de Pinet from Languedoc, France!

In 1970, Aimé Guibert and his wife, Veronique acquired what was then a very run-down vineyard, just west of Montpelier. With a dream of growing quality wines, they knew just how valuable the soil at the foot of the Gassac hills was for grape growing. The clay-limestone soils surrounding the Thau Lagoon are dry and well-drained which enables grapes to reach full maturity with a superb concentration of flavors. What started off as a dream for the Guibert family has turned into a family tradition of winemaking, with his five sons now working the estate and continuing his legacy.

This Picpoul is a lovely gold color in the glass with aromas of yellow flowers and limes. On the palate, it is crisp and fresh with notes of melon, honey, pear, and a hint of lemon zest and minerality.

Enjoy by itself on a warm spring day or pair with salmon, swordfish, oysters, Mediterranean dishes, or fresh salads.

Take home a bottle of 2020 Moulin De Gassac Picpoul de Pinet for only $10.99 this week while supplies last.

Cheers!
