Picpoul – Clomarin 2018 is today’s wine pick of the week. I thought to give it a little feature, seeing as it is surfacing, and becoming readily available on the wine shelves.
This is a zingy and zesty dry white wine with salty and lemony flavours going on, alongside white blossoms. Bone dry with mouthwatering acidity.
Perfect with seafood and oysters. Actually too perfect 😋
This particular Picpoul comes from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. So no brainer that these wines go with seafood, especially as this area spans the Mediterranean coastline of France.
A really great value white wine to get into!
Facts:
The Picpoul de Pinet bottle is called a Neptune
Since 1995, Picpoul de Pinet must be in a sleek green bottle. Up close, you will find it has three symbols on the glass: the waves of the sea around the neck of the bottle, the cross of it’s home region of the Languedoc-Roussillon, and columns along the base of the bottle as a nod to Roman Doric columns. It must have all three to be a real Picpoul de Pinet.
So down to the music end for today’s Wine n Wax… 🤔
Has to be The New Birth album Ain’t No Big Thing, But It’s Growing album. Released in 71. The track is called Honeybee. (Seeing as Picpoul acidity is a stinger)
Sampled by Wu Tang Clan from their 36 Chambers (masterpiece) Clan In Da Front track. For those who ain’t in the know 😉
Peace and blessings to my wine lovers and music heads ✌️
