L'Ormarine Duc De Morny Picpoul Pinet
Why this is on Broken Compass: Boutinot declare sustainable. Supplier sheet: sustainable.
What to expect
Gently aromatic, ripe melon fruit and fresh citrus on the nose. The palate is ripe but retains excellent freshness, balanced by a touch of white pepper spice that is very typical of this grape variety. Deliciously long, the finish shows bright fruit and a clean, saline/mineral edge.

On the table
Picpoul vines grow just inland from the Étang de Thau, home to southern Languedoc's famous oyster and mussel beds. Along the coast you'll find cabins where locals gather to feast on mussels or 'huitres braisees' (oysters cooked over a fire pit) which are perfect with a glass of Picpoul de Pinet.
