Notes on the Wine

Picpoul, sometimes “pique-poule”, or lip-stinger, is an exceptionally beloved cépage of Southern France, lending balance to cuvées that might otherwise veer off into the direction of the fulsome.

Picpoul is known, of course, for its tingling acidity, but coupled with its singular savoriness, it creates a dramatic sensation on the palate. The nose is maritime, coupled with a discreet suggestion of peaches, wildflowers and the ubiquitous fragrance of beeswax. This wine pairs perfectly with the briniest oysters you can find or with Dungeness crab.

Notes on the Producer

Since early 2004, we have adopted Biodynamic viticulture and biodynamic practices in as many of our vineyards as practicable. (Biodynamic seems to work best when it is voluntarily adopted, not something that is taken up coercively.) Because we work with fairly esoteric grape varieties, it has not always been possible to find growers of these varieties who are equally passionate about Biodynamic practice. It has been an ongoing work to try to lead by example, and we are hopeful of eventually bringing 100% of our growers to the practice out of their own sincere interest. We believe this practice gives us the best opportunity to produce the most distinctive and interesting, and in a word, the most vibrant wines possible.
