Petit Roubie 2024 Picpoul de Pinet

The Petit Roubie 2024 Picpoul de Pinet is a vibrant, coastal white wine of organic pedigree: bursting with citrus and orchard fruit, energized by saline freshness and refined mineral tension. It’s a perfect match for seafood and summer fare—and splendid as a zesty aperitif.

🍇 Terroir & Viticulture

• Produced by the Azan family in Pinet, on the shores of the Étang de Thau in southern Languedoc, planted on clay–limestone soils with some chalk character 

• Certified organic farming, first Picpoul producer in the appellation to achieve certification back in 1995 .

👃 Appearance & Aromatics

• Pale gold with green reflections.

• The nose is bright and expressive: pomelo, lemon, grapefruit, white peach, pineapple, and floral notes with a hint of sea breeze and fresh herbs—evocative of its maritime origins 

👅 Palate Sample

• Crisp and zesty with a fresh sea‑spray salinity.

• Flavors of citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit), orchard fruit (pear, apple skin), and exotic touches (pineapple, peach), balanced by a gentle minerality and energetic acidity 

• Medium-bodied with a refreshing texture and a lively finish.

🍂 Finish

• Long, clean, and saline—citrus and crisp fruit linger, marked by peppery and mineral-oyster nuances 

🌟 Quality & Recognition

• 92 pts from Decanter (2022 vintage): praised for “creamy lemony aromas… mouth‑puckering acidity,” and Gold medal in Millésime Bio 

🍽️ Pairing & Serving

• Serve chilled (8–10 °C) for optimum refreshment.

• Perfect with seafood like oysters, mussels, shrimp, and shellfish, as well as grilled fish, salads, creamy goat cheese, and light poultry dishes
