Anaïs Ricôme has emerged as the new benchmark for Picpoul de Pinet, a little-known appellation among French wine lovers. Yet this is the birthplace of some of Languedoc's great whites, starring the ancient piquepoul grape variety. After studying viticulture and oenology and gaining experience in a New Zealand vineyard, her father, Yves, suggested she take over this vineyard near Marseillan. Anaïs decided to reduce the size of the vineyard to 33 hectares, and to cultivate the vines organically, with an increasing emphasis on biodynamic practices. This music-loving thirty-something works with plot selection for her best cuvées. Above all, she has captured the elegance and unique touch of this grape variety with maturation in sandstone, foudre and stainless steel.

A lovely Chenin bubble, this Vouvray from Domaine d'orfeuilles. The bubble is fine, the palate lively and taut. A bottle to dedicate to the aperitif!

The cuvée La Bretonnière from Domaine de la Taille aux Loups comes from vines on the right bank of the Loire. For recent administrative reasons, the Vouvray AOC is no longer possible for this wine, as it is vinified in Montlouis! It is therefore presented to you as a simple Vin de France. The result is exceptional, as is often the case with Jacky Blot wines!
