Domaine La Croix Gratiot, Picpoul de Pinet

€19.99

Owned by brothers Yves and Hugues Ricome for over 30 years,Domaine La Croix Gratiot covers 27 hectares in Montagnac in the Coteaux du Languedoc. After years of selling to the local cooperative, Yves started bottling his own wine in 2005. His daughter Anaïs has now taken charge, after working for some time in New Zealand with Matt Thomson, and makes wonderfully pure wines that reflect the potential of the local varieties with which she
works. The domaine has been practising biodynamic since 2016 and is currently in conversion. The first certified vintage will be in 2021.

Style: Dry

Tasting Notes: This wine is bright yellow in colour with youthful highlights. Vibrant
citrus aromas of lime and grapefruit are on the nose. The palate is
full but extremely well balanced, with fresh Picpoul acidity and
pure fruit flavours. The finish is long and mouthwatering, with
complexity of stone fruit, spice and minerality.
