{"title":"Piquepoul","description":"Piquepoul, also known as Picpoul, is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, particularly in the sub-regions of Picpoul de Pinet and Clairette du Languedoc. Piquepoul wines display a pale straw or greenish-yellow colour and offer fresh and vibrant characteristics. They often showcase flavours of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, with hints of floral and herbal notes. Piquepoul wines are known for their crisp acidity, light to medium body, and a refreshing mineral character. They pair well with seafood, shellfish, and other light dishes, making them a popular choice for summer sipping and seaside enjoyment.","products":[{"product_id":"condamine-picpoul-de-pinet","title":"Condamine Picpoul de Pinet 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe name Picpoul translates as “lip stinger” — a nod to the grape’s signature high acidity and electric freshness. This cuvee is made by Guilheim Bascou, who follows in his father’s footsteps managing the family vineyard in the Pinet lagoon area of the Languedoc. His father was president of the Picpoul de Pinet appellation and still helps in the vineyard and cellars. The wine is shaped by its marine environment: sea breezes limit daytime temperatures while the lagoon protects the vines from severe temperature drops at night, producing grapes of exceptional freshness and mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicpoul de Pinet is one of the Languedoc’s most distinctive appellations, producing a style of white wine that is uniquely suited to seafood — crisp, saline, and intensely fresh.
