Picpoul de Pinet ‘Trois Mats’ 2024

'Aromatic, fresh: why we LOVE a Picpoul!'

£17.00

Picpoul de Pinet is a wine produced in a small region behind the sand dunes of Sete on the Mediterranean coast. Ungrafted Piquepoul vines planted on chalky soils are kept cool and humid by the sea breeze. This Domaine is one of only four significant producers of Picpoul de Pinet alongside 20 or so tiny Domaines. Hidden behind a neglected concrete facade of the old winery lies an immaculate modern facility. This progressive winery manages a variety of domaines and styles, the `Trois Mats` is overseen by a New Zealand consultant winemaker.

In normal working times William’s House Wines will ship your wines within three to five business days. Shipping is free is you spend £200 or more, otherwise we levy a minimal £9 charge, whether for a single bottle or several cases.​

Description

Tasting Notes

A bright, fresh Languedoc white from the coastal flatlands of Sete. A fresh nose bursting with aromas of white flowers and citrus fruit followed by notes of ginger, quince and anis. It is lively on the palate with notes of lemon, melon and honey finishing crisp and dry with matured crystallised citrus fruits. The wine is made protectively to preserve freshness and no stirring of lees to ensure a fresh minerality and a lively saline finish.

Food

Lovely as an aperitif or an excellent accompaniment to cold salads, shellfish, grilled fish and scallop carpaccio.

Alc 12.5% Screwcap

'A fabulous fizz for the fridge door!'

£17.50

Domaine Rosier was established in 1982 by Michel and Renza Rosier. Moving from their native Champagne to the Languedoc in order to set up their Domaine, they completely restructured the vineyard which had been planted entirely with Aramon vines. They replanted with Mauzac, Chardonnay, Chenin and Pinot Noir; the classic varieties of the region. Now son Nicolas has joined his father in the viticulture/winemaking side of the business. The wine is made using the Method Traditionelle which requires a secondary fermentation within the closed bottle to create a fine natural mousse. It also generates the rich yeasty lees flavours enjoyed in the best sparkling wines.

'Round, juicy and full of plums'

£13.50

Hailing from the Western Cape, this Merlot is round and supple, full of juicy plums, cherries and blackberries. Complemented by a fresh acidity and soft tannins.

'Easy drinking white, fab for a glug, great with supper'

£14.00

La Vigneau is sourced from mature Chardonnay vines near Narbonne planted in mineral rich soils and cooled by an oceanic micro-climate for this elegant Languedoc white.
