The nose evokes white flowers, citrus, white peach, fresh almond, wild fennel and subtle floral hints. Light to medium body on the palate, with lively acidity, fresh fruit flavors, mineral character, balanced structure and a clean, persistent, saline finish with citrus notes. A thirst-quenching wine... with substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMon P'tit Pithon Blanc is a white wine from the Roussillon region made from a blend of Macabeu (33%), Grenache Blanc (33%) and Grenache Gris (34%) grapes. Pithon produces this wine from vineyards located in Calce, at approximately 300 meters in elevation, on soils of marl, schist and limestone. The estate spans 19 hectares, farmed biodynamically since 2014. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and vinified with minimal intervention to express terroir character and grape purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Mon P'Tit Pithon\" is a play on words. \"Mon p'tit\" means \"my little\" in French, and combined with with the winemaker's last name name, Pithon, the phrase sounds like \"Monty Python,\" hence the grail on the label art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlivier Pithon has a deeply rooted history in the world of wine, having been introduced to it from an early age thanks to his grandfather, a winegrower in Anjou. This passion intensified after a childhood spent in the cellar of his his older brother, the talented Loire winemaker Jo Pithon. At the age of 14, he began working in his brother's vineyards, developing an early sensitivity to vines and wine. At 18, Olivier left home to further his wine training in Bordeaux, and continued in Jurançon and Beaujolais.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2001, Pithon found an ideal location to make wine from his own vines in Calce, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, with soils of marl, schist and limestone. From the beginning, he embraced organic farming, and eventually biodynamics, under the leadership of biodynamic advisor Jacques Mell. Pithon also strives to preserve the biodiversity of the vineyard. Olivier has animals on the estate, maintains beehives, plants trees and sows plant cover in the vineyards. This global approach to agriculture is at the heart of his philosophy, contributing to the creation of sensitive, fair and environmentally friendly wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Olivier Pithon","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":51925726626109,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Olivier-Pithon-Mon-P-Tit-Pithon-Blanc-2025.jpg?v=1783195714","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/olivier-pithon-mon-ptit-pithon-blanc-2025","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
