Picpoul de Pinet 'La Sauterelle' | Languedoc, France
Green grasshoppers – or Sauterelles – appear in the vineyards at the same time that the vines begin to flower; late spring.
The wine consists of 100% Picpoul (or Piquepoul) – a very popular, traditional local variety planted on sun-drenched hillsides called “costières” (coastal region) in the Mediterranean garrigue and near the Etang de Thau – a coastal lagoon situated between the port of Sète and Marseillan.
Picpoul is known as “the Muscadet of the South” in France, and locally as “Lip Stinger” because of its vibrant acidity. It is to the Mediterranean coast of France what Albariño is to northwest Spain… the default wine for fresh shellfish and seafood.
