The AOP Picpoul de Pinet will once again be present at the international Wine Paris exhibition, from February 10 to 12, 2025, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

Located near the Thau Lagoon and the Mediterranean sea, the AOP Picpoul de Pinet is renowned for producing dry, light, and refreshing white wines from its unique grape variety, Piquepoul. These wines are appreciated for their lively acidity, citrus and white flower aromas, and their ability to pair wonderfully with seafood and Mediterranean dishes.

“If the 2023 vintage was marked by fruitiness, it’s the spontaneous freshness of the Picpoul blanc that dominates this new vintage, bringing out the full typicity of the AOP Picpoul de Pinet,” explains Laurent Thieule, President of the appellation.

Let yourself be charmed by the 2024 vintage! The producers of AOP Picpoul de Pinet can't wait to let you taste it. You’ll discover a wide selection of wines from the appellation at the H7.2 - K151 booth. Below, you will find the wineries registered under the AOP Picpoul de Pinet banner.

This year, the AOP Picpoul de Pinet and the Cooperative of Mediterranean Shellfish Farmers invite you to an exclusive tasting of their local products, featuring the launch of a brand-new product: oyster rillettes!

“The oyster rillettes range comes in three versions: the 'authentic' range, the most natural for fans of iodine and lemon; the 'Picpoul' range, made with the local wine traditionally paired with oysters; and the 'garrigue' range, flavored with herbs from the garrigue that make the cicadas sing,” explains Fabrice Grillon, director of the shellfish farming cooperative.

Join us on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, starting at noon, at the AOP Picpoul de Pinet’s booth (H7.2 - K151). You will have the chance to meet the union team, as well as the winemakers from the Picpoul de Pinet appellation, accompanied by the team from the CCM.
