Domaine Piétri Géraud Blanc L’Écume 2021
Collioure AOP
A fine, crisp white from a 5th-generation Roussillon estate. Bare soils, vertical vineyards close to the Med, these extreme conditions make for a sensational white. Grenache Blanc, Gris and Vermentino, fermented in new oak in Laetitia's tiny cellar.

If you’ve watched Rick Stein’s series Hidden France, you’ve met Laetitia; she took him into her Collioure cellar perched amid her virtually vertical, terraced vineyards, overlooking the blue Med. It’s her oak-fermented dry white that is so extraordinary. And she is even more so. An artist, with a motor that never stops. Her terraced vineyards are the steepest in France. The soil is rock, the climate arid and the yield per hectare a fraction that of vineyards on the flat land nearby. She’s the only winemaker to have a winery in the narrow streets of Collioure. How does she get her grapes through those tourist-jammed passages in August? She is an unstoppable wine force! Handpicked grapes, fermented in barrel, the wine is crisp and complex.
