Pair with light and bright seafood dishes - fresh oysters, steamed shellfish, or ceviche. Grilled vegetables such as zucchini or asparagus.Try with a bowl of shellfish and pretend you're sitting by the sea in the South of France unless you're actually by the sea in the South of France enjoy you lucky thing!
On the nose it’s fresh and lively. Lemon and lime zest, green apple, delicate white blossoms or honeysuckle, plus a distinctive saline mineral edge like wet stone or oyster shell. The palate is crisp with high acidity, bright citrus, a touch of green apple and a clean mineral core. Light to medium in body, bone-dry, and finishing with a refreshing, slightly saline lift that makes it especially food-friendly… in other words, this Pique-Poodle is the ultimate everyone’s best friend at the dinner table - no barking, just pure good-pup energy in every glass.
The grapes for this Wot-Dog Pique-Poodle come from the coast in southern France, specifically the area between the Mediterranean Sea and a nearby inland oyster lake. This is the classic terroir for Piquepoul (Picpoul). The lagoon and the sea create a unique microclimate: the water moderates the hot Mediterranean temperatures, brings cooling breezes, and helps the grapes keep their signature high acidity and fresh, mineral character even in a warm climate. The soil: a mix of clay, limestone, and sand.
