"Christophe Muret's 32 acres of Piquepoul vines grow on limestone and clay slopes amid pine trees and garrigue just inland from the Mediterranean's Thau Basin. L'Etang de Thau is a sanctuary for grey herons and pink flamingos. It's also the most famous source for oysters in Southern France, and the citrus, floral and mineral chacteristics of this white wine make it the perfect accompaniment."
