Summary Memo Notes
The Moulin de Gassac Picpoul de Pinet 2024 is a classic expression of the Languedoc region, often nicknamed the “Muscadet of the Midi.” Known for its refreshing, “lip-stinger” acidity, the 2024 vintage continues the estate’s reputation for producing high-value, seafood-friendly white wines.
Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: Lovely pale gold with green tints.
-
Nose: Vibrant and fresh, featuring aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, and a delicate hint of yellow flowers.
-
Palate: Zesty and zippy. It leads with crisp acidity and a distinct saline/briny minerality that reflects the vineyards’ proximity to the Mediterranean sea. You may also notice subtle notes of honeydew melon and peach.
-
Finish: Clean, dry, and surprisingly fleshy for such a light wine, ending with a long, mouth-watering acidity.
-
Food Pairing Suggestions
This wine is designed to be drunk young (within 2 years) and served chilled (8∘C – 10∘C).
-
Seafood: Its high acidity and saltiness make it the ultimate partner for raw oysters, grilled sardines, mussels, or fish carpaccio.
-
Light Bites: Excellent as an aperitif, with Lebanese tabbouleh, or goat cheeses like Cabécou.
-
Global Flavors: Pairs beautifully with ceviche, sushi, or avocado stuffed with shrimp.
