The Picpoul de Pinet appellation overlooks the idyllic Thau Lagoon and its oyster huts. Here, the culture of the vine is paramount, and some plots of land have maintained their size and position since ancient times. Piquepoul Blanc is a fresh, zippy variety that is responsible for the Picpoul de Pinet wines that have helped to put this flourishing French region on the map. The terroir is made up of clay-limestone plateaus, rich in Cretaceous limestone and laden with quartz pebbles. The vineyards are dominated to the north by limestone hills dating from the Jurassic period. The Ormarine vineyards are cultivated using sustainable practices known in French as la lutte raisonne and since 2018, the winery has been certified by Terra Vitis.
