Winemaker Marc Cabrol crushed the grapes for this zesty white within 45 minutes of picking them, which helped preserve their bright, fresh flavors.
What You Need To Know
This minerally white hails from the sunny Mediterranean town of Pinet, a stone's throw from the sea in France's Languedoc region. While most of southern France is red-wine territory, Pinet sits on a bed of limestone soil, which (along with cooling sea breezes) makes a perfect environment for growing the local Picpoul grape. Purchased by the Cabrol family in 1969, Domaine des Lauriers is a 110-acre estate that's helmed today by 30-something vintner Marc Cabrol. This bottling is a step up from the winery's basic Picpoul, meaning Cabrol picks the best barrels of the vintage for this cuvée.
