BKWine Pick: Domaine Piccinini, Minervois-La Livinière, Languedoc
Domaine Piccinini, Minervois-La Livinière, Languedoc
Jean-Christophe’s father, Maurice Piccinini, was for many years in charge of the village co-operative in La Livinière and turned it into one of the best in Minervois. He was also a driving force behind Minervois being elevated to AOC status and subsequently La Livinière. The son, J-C, trained as oenologist and wanted from the start to make and bottle his own wines. His wines are today among the “safe bets” for excellent wines from Minervois. Try and find, for example, his Clos Angély, that he makes in both red and white version (or any other of his cuvées for that matter).
