Description: Picpoul de Pinet is situated in the Languedoc roughly half way between Beziers and Montpellier. Chateau de la Mirande is located in the commune of Castelnau-de-Guers not far from the Bassin de Thau, a salt-water lagoon dedicated to the cultivation of oysters and mussels. The vineyard spreads through the Mediterranean garrigue with its thousand scents and is in part situated on slopes of red earth covered with pebbles which release the sun's heat.

Green harvesting and organic viticulture are part of the estate's philosophy while the Picpoul (Piquepoul Blanc) itself is an ancient grape variety, which has the sort of green-tinged iodine fruit and crisp acidity one would associate with Muscadet or Gros Plant, but with more vinosity.

This is a deliciously understated wine, a touch of savoury brininess, a hint of white flowers. The spicy aniseed bouquet, green fruits and herbs aromas are quite resinous with an ample mouthfeel and savoury flavours of iodine, yellow plum and pepper, also a sharp prickle.
