Vignobles Canet Picpoul de Pinet AOP Tête de Cuvée, 2018

In recent years, Opimian has only been able to get hands on 100 cases of Vignoble Canet’s Picpoul de Pinet, with many members being disappointed. I am happy to report that the 2018 is delicious and this year we have secured twice the quantity. It is subtle in fragrance yet complex with aromas of fresh hay, green apple blossom, spring meadows and jasmine. It is smooth and round on the palate with melon, lemon and lime flavours and a citrus pith finish. Picpoul de Pinet vineyards are close to the Etang de Thau and the coast, enjoying a warm climate tempered by the sea breezes from the Mediterranean Sea.
