Moulin de Gassac Picpoul de Pinet 2018 75cl

Picpoul is unusual for France in that it is a varietally named appellation. It is an old variety that can trace itself back to the Middle Ages. It has been grown all over southern France and indeed appears in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape melange! Most of the Picpoul (also spelt Piquepoul) is grown in vineyards behind the Basin de Thou and the city of Sete around the town of Pinet, south of Montellier. It received its AOC only in 2013. The estate was created in the early 1990s by Aime Guibert founder of Mas de Daumas Gassac
