Château Saint Martin de la Garrigue Picpoul de Pinet 2019
$20.00Price
From 25 year old vines grown on 2 hectares in the heart of Picpoul country. A great alternative to Muscadet with more floral herbaceousness and less salinity. Bright, refreshing oyster wine.
Andrew Jefford, author of The New France, raves, “Perhaps the best wine for me [of St. Martin de la Garrigue] is an astonishing Picpoul de Pinet, picked very late from low-yielding vines: those who consider this an inarticulate if refreshing choice, the Muscadet of the Midi, should try this mint-and-verbena-scented, powerfully lemony wine.”
