Peterson House 2023 Picpoul Blanc – Méthode Traditionnelle
Appearance
A pale, fresh-cut straw hue with shimmering clarity, hinting at its bright and crisp character.
Bouquet
Lifted aromas of fresh apple and delicate florals, underscored by a subtle herbaceous note reminiscent of just-cut grass.
Palate
Zesty citrus leads the first sip—think lemon zest and green mandarin—complemented by a gentle, grassy freshness and creamy yeast texture from bottle ageing.
The mid-palate reveals a shift toward savory complexity, with nutty undertones and mellowed fruit.
A lively acid line drives the finish, where tart Granny Smith apple and the softness of stewed golden delicious mingle, creating a dry yet full-flavoured close.
Food Pairing
Traditionally paired with oysters, this sparkling Picpoul also holds its own alongside spicy Thai dishes—its crisp acidity a perfect match for heat and aromatics.
Serving Temperature
Best served chilled at under 4°C. For optimal enjoyment, refrigerate for 24 hours prior to serving or chill in ice for 2–3 hours.
