Domaine Petit Roubie Picpoul de Pinet
A bright yet pale golden coloured Picpoul. So fresh and evocative of its maritime proximity. Wafts of salinity mingle with delightful notes of citrus, appleskin and herbs. Hints of peach and exotic fruits make a fleeting appearance too. The palate is caressed at first by the gentle texture but is re-energised by the telling vibrant acidity on the finale. The excellent length of flavour is ample evidence of the Azan family attention to detail in the making of this wine. A white wine of genuine and authentic pedigree. Brilliant with seafood, especially shellfish.
Olivier and Floriane Azan, originally from a family of apple growers near Montpellier, made the move into growing vines back in 1981 with the purchase of the Château Petit Roubié estate, which then comprised just 15 hectares. Situated in the village of Pinet, overlooking the Etang de Thau, the domaine offers a range of organically produced wines but with focus on the distinctive and increasingly sought after Picpoul de Pinet (a southern French version of Muscadet – according to many commentators). Soils are mainly a classic clay/chalk mix.
