Details and technical informations about Winery Copain's Copain Estate Picpoul Blanc.
Discover the grape variety: Calitor blanc
Simple, light whites for drinking young with a pale golden colour, an airy palate with low acidity, and discreet aromas of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits and neutral notes. Productive and rustic, accessible easy-drinking profile. Almost extinct today, surviving in a few conservatory vineyards in Provence and Languedoc for its heritage value. White-berried mutation of Calitor noir, an ancient variety from south-eastern France and the Mediterranean rim.

Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
