Domaine de Cantagrils is made by Felines Jourdan, an estate since 1983 and located in Meze in the Languedoc. The climate is Mediterranean with long, dry summers and a mistral wind that blows down the Rhône. Cantagrils is 2km north on the higher plateau of Picpoul de Pinet at an altitude of 50 meters. It is one of the driest climates in France with a gentle winter where days of frost are quite rare. Since the founding of the winery estate in 1983, the family has grown the property which now is comprised of 95 hectares. Due to the location and proximity to the Sea, morning mists are prevalent and balance the water needs of the vines.
- Certified organically grown grapes
- Made with 100% Picpoul grapes grown on clay and white chalky and red gravelly soils perfect for retaining acidity, structure, minerality, and freshness
- Female winemaker, Claude Jourdan, is 2nd generation winemaker having taken over from her mother.
Domaine de Cantagrils Picpoul de Pinet 2023: An elegant and thirst quenching white wine, best served well chilled and is a French classic. The translation of the name of the appellation means “lip stinger” and while climate change has made the wines a bit rounder due to the warmer weather, the wine goes very well with the foods of the area which include stuffed mussels, grilled fish, cooked oysters, etc. There is a salty mineral edge to start along with melon and orange blossom aromas with white peach and lemon oil in the finish. It has a mouth watering finish and is light in body.
