Chateau Font-Mars Picpoul De Pinet 2018
Chateau Font Mars
The passion of wine growing and producing is an old tradition for the de Clock family. Originally of Dutch origins, Jean Clock, settled in Bordeaux in 1679 and decided to cultivate a vineyard that would last in the region for centuries. As a result of his incredible contribution, King Louis the XIV (who recognized the quality of his wines) naturalized him French in 1686.
Like numerous generations of winegrowers and just after his marriage with Camille de Vulliod, Leon de Clock undertook to manage the vineyard of the Domaine. Le Château Font-Mars (The Castle of Font-Mars) is still situated on the property at Mèze. Since 1864 until today the property has been managed by the ancestors of Camille, with Jean-Baptiste de Clock (their youngest son) now the owner, he continues to perpetuate the family traditions with pride.

Picpoul de Pinet is located in the Languedoc region in the south of France. It is one of the few regions in France that is named after the grape varietal that is most common there. Grown meters from the oyster beds of the Bassin de Thau, it pairs perfectly with fish and shellfish.
This 2018 vintage has been rated 92/100 by global magazine Decanter. It is a truly delicious & refreshing dry white with aromas of white peach, ananas, & perfume of white roses. A lively palate with hints of tropical fruits, vibrant acidity and a lovely dryness makes this a perfect accompaniment to seafood, or even just to savour on its own.

This is a true fine-dining style: taut, fresh, clean, elegant, full of lemony pungency, with a finishing impression of understated richness.
