Best Beverage Adds New French Import

By June 30, 2020Rhode Island, Top News

Best Beverage added 2019 Domaine de Castelnau Cuvée L’Etang Picpoul de Pinet. One of only 20 independent Domaines left in the appellation, as co-ops account for nearly 80% of Picpoul de Pinet production today. The 100% Picpoul hails from the rich marine fauna and flora of the neighboring lagoon, L’Etang de Thau, a habitat for migrating birds including grey herons and pink flamingos with the latter adorning the label of Domaine de Castelnau’s Cuvée L’Etang. The single varietal bottling is ripe with lemon-citrus oil and mineral characteristics of the grape and region, with a smooth and rich texture from a brief sur-lie resting period over the winter before bottling.
