Picpoul Blanc is a white wine grape native to southern France, particularly the Languedoc region. Known for producing crisp, mineral-driven white wines with excellent acidity, it has become increasingly popular for coastal and seafood-friendly wines.
Flavors & Aromas
Citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit), green apple, white peach, saline minerality, and fresh herbal notes.
Winemaking & Aging
High acidity, light to medium body, dry and typically unoaked or lightly oaked, with a fresh, vibrant character. The name translates roughly as "lip stinger," a reference to its bracing acidity. Best consumed young (1–3 years), though top examples from Picpoul de Pinet hold 5+ years. Thrives in warm coastal climates and pairs exceptionally well with seafood and Mediterranean cuisine.
