Domaine Félines Jourdan
The ancient Picpoul de Pinet grape finds its best terroirs in the Languedoc, near the Etang de Thau, at the edge of the Mediterranean. The white wines from this variety are floral, fruity, and mineral-rich, with a lovely streak of acidity to refresh the palate. In fact, “Picpoul” means “lip-smacking” in the regional dialect. Vinotas Selections is proud to be able to represent the best producer of this lovely grape, Domaine Félines Jourdan
Winemaker Claude Jourdan manages to make an expressive wine that shows its refreshing finesse and elegance by working with three different vineyards, Les Félines, La Coulette and Les Cadastres. The vines average 25 years of age and are planted in Jurassic soils rich in gravel. Her Picpoul is aged in stainless steel and on its lees for 3 months before being filtered and bottled.
This winery has won numerous local, regional, national and European awards for the quality of its wine. Best of all, it represents a value that is hard to come by, and is a fantastic alternative to the more expensive white wine offerings of the Loire or other regions.
The Picpoul de Pinet is a refreshing, light and lively wine redolent of white flowers and verdant fruits, apples and pears, with hints of white pepper on a fresh structure that ends with lip-smacking acidity, keeping you coming back for more. This is absolutely brilliant with shellfish or sushi.
