Picpoul de Pinet, Domaine de Cantagrils 2024

If you're a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, you should give this a try. From the Languedoc, it's one that evokes all that maritime freshness. Think grapefruit, flowers and a sprinkle of sea salt on the intriguing, enticing nose. It's clean, super fresh, and with a chalky, salty vibe running underneath. The flavours burst with melon, citrus, peach, and lime and it finishes nice and long with a hint of tropical sunshine.

Justly famous as a quintessential seafood wine, making it an easy choice with oysters and other delicate shellfish.

Domaine de Cantagrils was one of the trailblazers of Picpoul de Pinet. Their foresight in planting the grape back in the 1980s helped shape this lip-smackingly fresh appellation. Cantagrils' wines express the grape with delightful precision: expect zesty grapefruit, a saline sea-breeze character, and just a hint of that nutty complexity Picpoul can deliver. They offer a brilliant window into this corner of the Languedoc, showcasing the region's unique blend of sun-drenched fruit and vibrant, coastal freshness.
