Patience is a new, more gastronomic, style of Picpoul. It is something special for Picpoul lovers in search of the next level.
In the glass it has a pale colour, flecked with touches of gold. The nose is fresh and fruity with notes of peaches and pears. Given a little time to breathe, it expresses a discreet minerality.
Lively and fresh on the palate with a richness, supported by citrus flavours. Time on less gives this a textural, creamy, buttery feeling. The finish is long.
It will go perfectly with monkfish fillet or cuttlefish, or with white meats and cheeses.
"An exceptional wine to add to your portfolio! With a nose of cooked peaches (as in Tarte Tatin) it rolls into a dense fruit-driven middle of seasonal fruit compote finishing with a lingering freshness plus a textured body. Serve with creamy dishes and soft cheese for a new taste sensation." Stephen Barrett
The Languedoc is a vast region stretching across much of the south and Mediterranean and is France`s single largest vineyard entity for its Vins de Pays wines.
Within the Languedoc lie several distinctly identified Vins de Pays (including the l`Aude, Gard and Hérault) and many appellations that maintain traditional local blends and styles such as Minervois, Corbières, Pic Saint Loup and Fitou.
An old French white wine variety that’s recently become increasingly popular for its lip-zapping white wines that pair perfectly with shellfish, oysters, and fried foods.
There are three versions, the dark-skinned Piquepoul noir, a very little grown Piquepoul gris, and the more common light-skinned Piquepoul blanc. The best examples come from the small Languedoc appellation of Picpoul de Pinet.
