La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet 2022/23

The grapes for the La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet grow close to the commune of Mèze on a chalky plateau. The proximity of the zone to the Mediterranean sea means cool maritime breezes moderate the climate, making it ideal for growing the Piquepoul white grape variety. The grapes were harvested at night to ensure they were cool when they arrived at the winery. Fermented took place in stainless steel tanks which ensured no oxidation of the precious stone fruit character. The wine then rested on the fine lees for several months prior to bottling. This Picpoul is a vibrant yellow in colour with youthful hues. On the nose are fresh aromas of citrus fruit such as lime and grapefruit. The palate is full but extremely well balanced, with fresh acidity and a mouthwatering, persistent finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
