We've sold a lot of Picpoul over the years, but there's a new one in the house, and I think it's the best I've ever had. Moulin de Gassac's Picpoul de Pinet is delicious, and it's a new candidate for the top white wine value in the shop.
We've got this one on deal for just $14.99/bottle, over 20% off the regular price. Deal pricing is good through June 20.
The Guibert family earned worldwide acclaim with Mas de Daumas Gassac, one of the benchmark estates of the Languedoc. Their Moulin de Gassac project proves they're just as talented at delivering affordable, high-quality wines as they are at making legendary ones. Sourced from the village of Pinet along the Mediterranean coast near the Bassin de Thau, this is classic Picpoul from its spiritual homeland.
And what a wine it is! This one absolutely sings with notes of juicy peach, lemon zest, and citrus blossom backed by a salty, stony minerality that I rarely encounter in wines at this price. It strikes a beautiful balance between richness and freshness, delivering plenty of flavor without ever feeling heavy.
It's the sort of white that starts out refreshing and ends up surprisingly serious. Put a bottle in the fridge, grill some shrimp or crack open a dozen oysters, and enjoy.
Better yet, grab a six-pack and make sure you're covered for the rest of the season.
