Domaine la Grangette's Cuvée Cocoriko is a rare single-varietal expression of Piquepoul Noir, an ancient Rhône variety typically used in Châteauneuf du Pape blends. The estate, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Cevennes region just five kilometers from the coast, was founded in the Middle Ages and uniquely produces white, pink, and red wines from Picpoul vines. Sourced from a 2.4-hectare organically farmed vineyard of 17-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils. Designated as Vin de Pays des Côtes de Thau from France.
