La Croix Gratiot "Brechallune" Picpoul de Pinet 2022

Tasting Notes

The Bréchallune is made from a single-parcel selection, the grapes are harvested later to give more concentration and a fuller texture to the finished wine. Fermentation took place partly (30%) in ceramic amphorae, and partly (70%) in concrete vats, where the wine rested and aged on lees for five months. As a result, the Bréchallune has a rich texture and lovely complexity, a unique style of Picpoul. The Bréchallune Picpoul boasts bright aromas of grapefruit, lemon and white flowers on the nose. The palate has an attractive, rich texture which is well-balanced with racy acidity. The citrus flavours are concentrated, layered and well-defined.
