A French wine made by the Ormarine, the local oyster fishers (470 members) who wanted a wine focussed on sustainability to sip with their catches. In the Languedocian dialect the word Picpoul literally means "lip stinger", in reference to the wine's zippy acidity. In French proper the translation would be Levre Piquante. Piquepoul blanc grapes are grown on the hills above the Med, just a stone's throw from the world famous Bassan de Thau Oyster Farms! The grapes are harvested in mid-September, fermented at a cool temperature in stainless steel and bottled soon after. Levre Piquante is unashamedly fresh and citrussy. The palate is lively, zesty and impossible to dislike. Open straight from the fridge in the sunshine and match with seafoods; in particular Oysters, as the locals do.
