南仏の複雑さを、二つの品種で束ねる。

ピクプールとルーサンヌのブレンドで、南仏の複雑な味わいを描いた白ワインです。豊かで力強いアロマには、ヘーゼルナッツパウダーや柑橘の皮、スパイスカレーを思わせる香りが重なります。花のような香り立ちと肉厚な果実味、繊細なオークの風味が溶け合い、口中には甘やかなスパイスが感じられ、見事なバランスを示します。ホタテの串焼きやオマール海老とモリーユ茸を添えた鶏料理とともに。

Winemaking & technical data

Producer's comments
After releasing the red wine "Zazu," we now try our hand at white wine. Unlike the red wine, this white wine focuses on blending.
Picpoul Blanc lightly enhances the charm of the Roussanne.
The name "Zazu" has several origins: the unconventional jazz enthusiasts of the late 1930s, the music of Brigitte Fontaine,
It also draws inspiration from Anaïs' nickname.
Certification: AB, Euroleaf

brewing
The varieties are blended together at the time of harvest.
After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is transferred to barrels at a specific gravity of 1.030 and aged for six months.
It is then aged for a further 6 months in concrete tanks.

About the producer

La Croix Gratiot

A Rising Star of Innovative Picpoul

La Croix Gratiot’s 33 ha of vineyards lie on the clay-limestone hills that surround the Thau basin, where they benefit from sea breezes and the scents of the garrigue. This terroir is rich in colour: the reds and yellows of the clay-limestone soils, the green of the garrigue, the blue of the sky and of the Étang de Thau. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, the grapes reach optimal ripeness and can fully express the character of the area.

To maintain biodiversity in the vineyards, a wide variety of plants is grown at the edges of the plots and along the banks of the stream that runs through the property. Bat boxes are installed on the sunny faces and along the stream to encourage the activity of pipistrelle bats, which feed on midges.

Anaïs Ricome has emerged here as the rising star of Picpoul de Pinet. By putting the old Picpoul variety centre stage, she is producing great white wines in the Languedoc. After studying viticulture and oenology and gaining experience at a winery in New Zealand, she took over these vineyards near Marseillan from her father Yves.

Anaïs then reduced the size of the vineyard for better quality control and adopted organic farming incorporating biodynamics. She also works on plot selection in order to make the finest cuvées. Above all, through ageing in sandstone, foudres and stainless steel tanks, she expresses the elegance of the variety and gives it a distinctive touch.
