Gérard Bertrand Terroir Picpoul de Pinet 2022

AOP Picpoul De Pinet, Languedoc, France, $18.95 (13000) 13.0% alcohol

The 1618 on the bottle stands for a famous botanist, in 1618, writing in his book Sylve Plantarium as he pointed out that picpoul wine grapes were excellent and, in fact, the very best white grapes in the Languedoc region. And they still are! Pour alongside pan-seared seafood or steamed mussels. (Vic Harradine)
