    Domaine Reine Juliette, France
    The vineyard is located Pomerols, a picturesque and destination village in Languedoc. Pomerols is a town of 2,000 inhabitants located in the department of Herault, 10 km from the town of Agde on the Mediterranean coast and 10 km from the town of Pezenas.

    The vines extend into large sunny terraces on two towns: Pomerols and Pinet. The vineyard is located between the Mediterranean Garrigue and along the Etang de Thau on clay and limestone. Because of its location the vineyard enjoys a micro-climate. The climate is tempered by the breezes and the sea mists, ideal for perfecting the maturity of our dry white Picpoul de Pinet AOC.

    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.

    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!
