Lot presentation

IGP Côtes Catalanes Olivier Pithon Maccabeu 2017

The wine

As the name indicates, Olivier Pithon has here produced a single grape variety of Maccabeu from schist soil, cultivated by hand and aged in barriques. This white wine of Côtes Catalanes offers finesse and elegance through its lightly fruity and brioche-like aromas. Its fine minerality means it pairs remarkably well with maritime dishes.

About the Producer Olivier Pithon

Originally from Anjou, Olivier is the grandson of a winemaker and the younger brother of Jo Pithon, a respected figure in the Coteaux du Layon (whose estate was later acquired by Domaine Belargus). After learning the ropes in the family vineyard and gaining experience in several estates, including a few years in Bordeaux, he chose to settle in the rugged landscapes of Calce in 2001. His vineyard, perched at 300 metres above sea level, is managed with a holistic organic and biodynamic approach. Alongside biodynamic preparations 500 and 501, he replants hedgerows, sows cereals between the rows to encourage permanent cover crops, and introduces animals (especially sheep) into the vineyard from October to April. Olivier Pithon’s wines are authentic, well-balanced, and deeply expressive. Grenache (in all its forms: Noir, Gris, Blanc), Maccabeu, Carignan, and Mourvèdre thrive here, rooted in a patchwork of limestone, marl, and schist soils.
