Villa Blanche Picpoul de Pinet 75cl
Picpoul de Pinet is the seaside white of the Languedoc, grown near the oyster beds of the Étang de Thau, and this one is a star. Villa Blanche won Gold and House White of the Year at the Sommelier Wine Awards 2025, plus Bronze in 2026.
Tasting notes
Bright and pale with a green tinge. Expect white flowers and citrus on the nose, a touch of mint and anise, and a fresh, smooth palate that finishes lemony, mineral and gently salty.
Vincent's cheese pairings
That salty, citrusy freshness is perfect with young, creamy and fresh cheeses.
- Burrata: fresh, milky and made for a crisp white
- Honey & Flower Goat's Cheese: fresh goat's cheese with a floral touch
- Mini Pavé de Paris: ash-coated cow and goat's milk

We recommend the following quantities per person:
For an after dinner cheese board, 30g to 50g per cheese per person is generally enough and should not leave you with much leftover. If you are planning to have a big table and / or want some cheese to be carried over a few days ,we recommend 60 to 80g per cheese per person.
The number of cheeses is up too you (i say the more the better!) but to achieve a good selection from textures, Strenghs & different milks, 4 to 6 cheeses are recommended.
The average Cheese Weight we recommend:
2 to 4 Guests: 125 to 150g per cheese
