"The 2023 Racine Picpoul de Pinet is as fine an example of this increasingly popular grape/wine as youll find, produced by the long-standing friends Bruno Lafon and François Chamboissier, the much-fêted Bordelais and Burgundian behind many a beautifully made and cannily priced southern French wine. Its crisp, clean, zingy and refreshing and should be in everyones fridge this summer."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine

Picpoul de Pinet, although almost unknown here until recently, has long been the darling of many a sommelier in the south of France. Now, however, extremely fashionable – and quite rightly. One is Bruno Lafon & François Chambossier's Racine Picpoul de Pinet, of which the new 2023 vintage, with its saline tang and lemony freshness is the perfect summer white wine.

Bruno Lafon, from a long line of Burgundian winemakers, came to the lovely, un-spoilt Languedoc twenty years ago with a mission to produce artisanal cuvées at far more accessible prices than those of his native Côte de Beaune.

Sourcing from vineyards Bruno has since planted just south of the ancient, lovely walled city of Carcassone, he and his partner François Chambossier now produce what is indisputably one of the finest Picpouls on the market.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (1)
Picpoul is a firm favourite, with its racy freshness, ripe citrus fruit, and seafood-friendly purity. The palate has a lovely texture, with many layers of flavour and a notable length to the finish.

Delicious Picpoul...fresh and a great aperitif

"The 2019 Racine Picpoul de Pinet is spot on. Crisp, clean and lively, it makes the perfect springtime aperitif and, blessed with a screwcap, can be opened in a trice whenever thirst strikes."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine (previous vintage)
