    Winemaker Notes

    White wine. Languedoc, France. Sustainable. 100% Picpoul. Pale straw yellow. Bright and lemony fresh on the nose. On the palate zippy flavors of citrus, peach, fresh herbs, and oyster shell with a touch of richness. Fresh and zingy with a sea salt-laced finish.

    Winemaking is a tradition within the de Clock family. Originally from Holland, Jean Clock settled in Bordeaux in 1679, and decided to cultivate a vineyard. Le Chateau Font-Mars is situated on the property at Meze. The vineyards cover 55 hectares and the terroir contains three different kins of soil: pliocene marin in the south, river formation in the west along the river Negue-Vaques, and clay-chalk soil in the Northeast.

    Picpoul remains one of the few wines in France named for the grape more than the place; Picpoul de Pinet refers to the white wines made exclusively from the grape called Piquepoul Blanc in the Languedoc communes of Pinet, Mèze, Florensac, Castelnau-de-Guers, Montagnac and Pomérols. Confusingly, the spelling, Piquepoul, can be used for the variety in all other appellations except for those named above. The grape is ubiquitous throughout the Languedoc. Somm Secret—Pomérols is a commune in the Languedoc-Rousillon region in the south of France and has nothing to do with the Bordeaux village of virtually the same name, Pomerol.

    Languedoc, France

    Sipping a glass of crisp white wine in the Mediterranean heat is an instinctive reflex, one which the inhabitants of Languedoc have met with the Picpoul grape since Roman times. The grape, widely planted until the late 19th century, became bound to the sandy soils around the Étang de Thau coastal lagoon during the phylloxera epidemic, where the root-sucking American louse cannot thrive. Picpoul de Pinet is one of the few AOCs in the Languedoc where only one grape is allowed, but the refreshing, mouthwatering quality of the wines makes clear why.

    Late to ripen and high in acid, Picpoul (whose name means “lip-stinger”) does well in the coastal heat where aridity reduces the threat of downy mildew and the sea-scented breeze imbues the wine with seafood-friendly salinity. Made to be drunk young, with a fresh floral, citrus and herbal character, it will go down equally well by itself or in the company of brandade, octopus, or ceviche!
