Racine Picpoul de Pinet 2023, Languedoc-Roussillon
Bruno Lafon and François Chamboissier's Picpoul de Pinet is made around the village of Pinet with vineyards influenced by the breeze of the Mediterranean sea. It delivers exactly what you want in a dry white, lashings of fresh acidity, soft ripe citrussy flavour and enough body to compliment most summer fayre, in particular fish and seafood dishes for which it first became famous.
Who'd have thought an obscure Languedoc wine would achieve the level of popularity it has. This is a decent example with everyday drinking in mind and perfectly capable of accompanying the right kind of food.
