WINE DESCRIPTION

Font-Mars Picpoul de Pinet is a refreshing white wine produced by the Font-Mars winery in the Languedoc region of France. The wine is made from the Picpoul grape variety, which is grown in the unique coastal terroir of the Pinet appellation. The vineyards are located near the Mediterranean Sea, which gives the wine a distinct saline character. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes and gentle pressing to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is crisp and lively, with notes of citrus and green apple, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood and other light dishes, and is best enjoyed chilled on a warm summer day.

ORIGINS

Winery: Font-Mars

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
