Domaine Delsol Picpoul de Pinet, 2022

Domaine Delsol is a dry, light, refreshing wine. The nose is fruity and floral, with hints of rose petal and lime. In the mouth it is lively and fresh with well balanced acidity. Cold settling (racking) takes place to ensure that only fresh fruit flavors are imparted. Fermentation at 57°. The wine is left to age on the lees for two months before bottling.

Domaine Delsol is ideally situated along the Thau Lagoon in Montagnac in the newly formed Picpoul de Pinet AOC. The lagoon and Mediterranean breezes make the nights cooler than in other areas of the Languedoc. This and the high humidity create perfect conditions for growing Picpoul. Apparently Hannibal and his elephants passed through what was to become the Domaine on their way to Rome, so elephants have become a kind of mascot for Delsol. You will find their likeness on the label and at the entrance gate of the Domaine.
