Le Pic Blanc, Vin de France, France, 2025

Producer Profile

The wines of Terres Fidèles are designed to express the spirit of this extraordinary place – old-vine Grenache, Carignan, Malbec, Cinsault, Viognier and more.

All are authentically crafted, small-batch wines of the wilds. As Fergal Tynan MW, founder, explains: “Over the last two decades, we’ve been creating wines in the wilds of south-western France – embarking on adventures; exploring, discovering and rediscovering remarkable places and vineyard sites. From the foothills and valleys beneath the iconic Pyrenees, out through the gorges to the coastal areas of the Mediterranean, we’ve journeyed with our friends – exceptional growers who excel at their craft and have an inherent respect for the land that they and theirs are a part of. It is these people and places that inspire our winemaking.”

Viticulture

Sourced from cooler, high‑altitude sites within the Pyrénées’ influence, chosen for their ability to deliver natural aromatic intensity and freshness. The grapes are picked early in the morning to retain purity, vibrancy and that unmistakable “just-picked” clarity.

Winemaking

Cool stainless‑steel fermentation preserves the wine’s vivid aromatics and fruit-driven nature. The Chardonnay component is handled with care to bring subtle softness and balance, while time on fine lees in tank contributes a smooth texture and an integrated, polished finish.

Tasting Note

A crisp, aromatic white brimming with citrus zest, gooseberry and white peach, accented by a delicate floral lift and refreshing wet‑stone character. The palate is bright and linear, with Chardonnay adding a gentle roundness before a lively, precise finish.

Food matching

Grilled sea bass with lemon, goat’s cheese salad, sushi and light seafood dishes.
