Picpoul de Pinet Explained | The Zesty French White Wine Perfect for Seafood

Picpoul de Pinet: the crisp, coastal white wine you’ve been sleeping on. If you love zesty, refreshing wines like Muscadet, Albariño, or Sauvignon Blanc, this one’s for you. In this video, I dig into the story behind Picpoul de Pinet—where it’s from, what makes it unique, and why it's perfect with oysters, grilled fish, or even ceviche. I also review two fantastic bottles from the legendary Ormarine co-operative, both available at Majestic Wine in the UK. These wines are great value, food-friendly, and ideal for summer sipping. https://www.majestic.co.uk/picpoul Plus, I go through full WSET Level 3 tasting notes for both wines using the Systematic Approach to Tasting — perfect if you're studying for exams or just want to sharpen your tasting skills. This isn’t just another French white. It’s got lip-smacking acidity (literally—“Picpoul” means “lip-stinger”), a refreshing citrus core, and increasingly sophisticated winemaking behind it. Think of it as the Muscadet of the South—with a Mediterranean twist. Whether you're a wine student, a seafood lover, or just searching for a delicious, affordable bottle, you’ll find something here to love. 👉 For more wine education, tasting videos, and WSET exam help, head to www.winewithjimmy.com – packed with resources and exclusive content.
