France — wine
Picpoul de Pinet
Picpoul de Pinet produces France's most distinctive coastal white from the indigenous Picpoul Blanc grape on limestone soils near the Étang de Thau oyster lagoon in the Languedoc. The wines are defined by electric acidity, citrus freshness, and saline minerality — purpose-built for oysters and Mediterranean seafood.
