Fresh, coastal and effortlessly drinkable, Florensac Bleu Blanc Piquepoul-Terret is a classic expression of southern French white wine, shaped by sun, sea breezes and a long local tradition of winemaking. Produced by Les Vignerons de Florensac, a respected cooperative founded in 1934, this wine reflects decades of shared knowledge from generations of growers working the vineyards around the Étang de Thau lagoon. Today, the winery combines that heritage with modern, precision winemaking focused on freshness and purity of fruit.
The Côtes de Thau is one of the most distinctive corners of the Languedoc, sitting beside the Mediterranean between Sète and Agde. Vines grow close to sea level on clay-limestone soils, benefitting from cooling maritime influences that help retain natural acidity despite the region’s warm climate. Wine has been made here since ancient times, but the modern reputation of Côtes de Thau has been built on vibrant, saline-edged whites that echo their coastal setting. The area is also famed for its oysters and shellfish, a natural partner to its crisp, mineral wines.
Florensac Bleu Blanc is typically blended from local white varieties Piquepoul and Terret Blanc. In the glass it is pale and bright, with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach and subtle floral notes. The palate is lively and refreshing, with crisp acidity, gentle stone-fruit sweetness and a faint saline minerality that carries through to a clean, dry finish. It is a wine designed to refresh rather than overwhelm – bright, balanced and very easy to enjoy.
At the table, this wine truly shines with seafood: oysters, moules marinières, grilled prawns or simple white fish with herbs. It also pairs beautifully with light salads, goat’s cheese or Mediterranean vegetable dishes. Serve well chilled and enjoy as a taste of sun, sea and southern French charm in the glass.
