It was in 1966 that the Morin family took ownership of the estate. Today Caroline Morin is the young winemaker in charge trying to express the fabulous terroir through her wines of great finesse and minerality. Cuvée Caroline has been specially blended to be a gastronomic wine, with the body and balance that is perfect to accompany seafood and fish dishes.

Viticulture
In the appellation, the method of pruning is Double Cordon de Royat and yield is limited to 60 hls/ha. Picpoul is the latest developing grape of the vineyard. It is harvested at the end of September and sometimes as late as the beginning of October.

Winemaking
Night harvested in order to preserve aromas and freshness. Immediate pressing and cold settling at a very low temperature. Once fermentation is achieved, the wine is aged on fine lees with regular stirring of the lees in order to bring richness and roundness.

Tasting Note
Bright and pale yellow wine with very fresh aromas of white flowers, acacia and hawthorn; fresh and saline palate but with a slight roundness for a Picpoul. This is “gourmet” Picpoul.

Food Matching
Grilled fish, and white meat in a creamy sauce
