Chapelle du Bastion Picpoul de Pinet 2017

I’m FINALLY getting back
to my Lukas wines.

I didn’t take notes as I
was drinking this one because it
would have been a sinful
distraction.

This wine was a taste of
heaven.

Happily, I’m still on Earth.

I wish I could remember
this wine and try it again.

Cracking the books on PdP
leads me to wonder
how this vintage shakes
out for this AC in the
overall scheme of things.

For the uninitiated…

This wine comes from
“the Languedoc” in France,
which is one of my
favorite wine areas.

The PdP AC (official region)
is “grape specific” in that
the Picpoul is the only
grape that can be made into
wine with this AC designation.

This is quite odd for the Languedoc.

For the most part, it is
a celebration of grape variety
diversification.

I like that.

You never know what you are
going to get.

Hang in there.
