Along the Mediterranean, at the bottom of the Gulf of Lion, the Picpoul de Pinet terroir extends around the Thau Basin, in the middle of the Agde-Pézenas-Sète triangle over 1300 hectares. This is the largest white wine region in Languedoc.
Our plot is located in the south of the appellation, bordering Lake Thau, on rather poor soil covered with lime concretions. The climate here is tempered by marine mists and breezes. This marine influence is extremely important as it plays the role of a heat accumulator that limits daily temperature swings, namely the temperature rising during the day and falling at night.
Piquepoul is an old Languedoc grape variety that has been found on the banks of Lake Thau since Antiquity; this late-ripening grape variety, planted in a dry climate, takes advantage of the humidity of the late season to complete its maturation.
