Domaine Félines-Jourdan
This Languedoc estate is run by the talented Claude Jourdan, whose family has been winemaking in the area for many generations. The family bought Domaine Félines in 1983, changing the name to Domaine Félines Jourdan to mark the start of its, and their, new chapter.
Arguably their most famous wine is Picpoul de Pinet, a variety that was granted AOC status in 1985, prompting winemakers to produce better and better examples since. This marked improvement in quality means it has gained considerable popularity in the last few years. However, whereas many co-operatives produce good but unexciting versions, Félines Jourdan leads the way in producing a quintessential example of this round, food-friendly Mediterranean white.
The name Picpoul de Pinet refers to the town of Pinet in the very south of France, and Félines Jourdan’s 40ha estate is based nearby in Mèze. Much of their vineyards are right on the Mediterranean coast at the edge of the Thau Lagoon (or Bassin de Thau), a picturesque body of water that is home to flamingoes and is particularly famous for its oysters, which are perfectly suited to a glass of Picpoul de Pinet. Recognising the importance of these wonderful natural surroundings, Félines Jourdan practices sustainable viticulture, and are committed to protecting not only the vineyards, but also the lagoon and the nearby bird reserve.
The proximity to the coast provides essential cool sea breezes, protecting the health of the vines and helping to keep temperature...
