Richemer Cuvée Piquepoul 2024 is a delightful white wine crafted from the Piquepoul grape, a varietal known for its crispness and lively character. Hailing from the Côtes de Thau IGP appellation in the broader Languedoc and Roussillon region, this 2024 vintage exemplifies the fresh, vibrant flavour profile associated with modern southern French whites. The terroir surrounding the Thau lagoon is characterised by a blend of clay and limestone soils, contributing to the wine's mineral tension and purity of fruit. Vinification typically emphasises temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the grape’s natural aromas and zesty acidity.
The Languedoc and Roussillon region extends along France's Mediterranean coast, benefitting from a warm, sun-drenched climate tempered by sea breezes. These maritime influences are key in maintaining freshness and balance in the wines, particularly whites such as Piquepoul. The region boasts a rich winemaking history dating back to ancient times, and today it stands out for its innovative producers and broad range of styles. The soils here, a mix of clay, limestone and alluvial deposits, lend the wines both structure and a distinctive saline edge, making them particularly food friendly.
With its brisk acidity, citrus notes, and subtle floral hints, this Piquepoul is the quintessential partner for seafood. Oysters, mussels, grilled prawns or a fresh anchovy-based tapenade evoke the Mediterranean coast and resonate perfectly with the wine’s lively profile. Local Languedoc dishes such as tielle sétoise (octopus pie) or fish soup also make superb pairings, enhancing both the freshness of the wine and the flavours of the meal.
For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine well-chilled at 8-10°C. This temperature range preserves its aromatic vivacity and accentuates the saline, mineral character on the palate. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour to appreciate the full expression of the Richemer Cuvée Piquepoul 2024.
