Piquepoul Blanc

"Elle m’a dit d’aller siffler la haut sur la colline"

A Word from the Winemakers

The idea for this cuvée came to me while visiting the Basque Country several times, sipping a delicious Txakoli on the terrace as an aperitif, with my feet in the water. I really wanted to make this kind of cuvée. Harvest 2020, here I am tasting the grapes of a plot, and then, a revelation! I've got it! As for the name, you all know Joe Dassin and his song about whistling on the hill… In these times, we so much want to dance! It’s also the name of a comic book by Fab Caro that we adore. Open a bottle and don't forget the little bouquet of wild roses…

Vinification

Selection of slightly underripe Piquepoul white grapes to maintain a very fresh aspect, vinification at low temperature. Slight carbonation through a membrane during bottling.

Tasting

Bright robe with silvery reflections, very fine bubbles. The nose is joyful, evoking lemon blossom, citron peel, mandarin, and candied ginger. The palate is tonic, the finish saline, and the bubbles are fine and delicate. A slight effervescence. Serve chilled at 10-12, ideal for an aperitif. Be careful, the bottle finishes quickly...
