Château Maris Benjamin Darnault Picpoul de Pinet 2023/2024, crafted by winemaker Benjamin Darnault in the Picpoul de Pinet appellation of Languedoc, is a dazzling seafood white. Lemon and lime zest dominant on the nose are complemented by green apple and subtle pear skin, with acacia blossoms adding floral lift. Crisp minerality and hints of sea spray cut through the palate, delivering a lean, fresh structure with bright acidity and a clean, saline finish. At 12.5% alcohol, it’s light-bodied yet satisfying. While no major international scores have surfaced yet, customers praise its purity and exceptional value – a quintessential summer white.
