Emeric's note

Friday apéro that becomes dinner

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Anaïs Ricome runs her family estate in Montagnac, near the Étang de Thau, a few minutes from the Mediterranean, certified organic since 2021.

Picpoul grows on a chalky plateau by the lagoon, where sea breezes keep the grapes fresh. Anaïs picks at night and keeps everything in steel.

Simple in the best way, and one of the best-value whites on my shelf.

Languedoc map

The place

Languedoc

A vast Mediterranean sweep from Nîmes to the Spanish border, the Languedoc has gone from bulk-wine sea to France's most exciting frontier. Old Carignan and Grenache on schist and limestone give garrigue-scented reds; the coast yields zesty Picpoul de Pinet; Limoux makes sparkling wine that predates Champagne. France's largest organic vineyard area.
