The Story

A luminous white, saline and refined.

Born in the heart of the maritime Corbières, Le Délicat captures all the purity of the coastal Languedoc: freshness, tension, minerality. From a precise blend of Vermentino and Bourboulenc, this certified organic wine offers a chiselled expression of the clay-limestone terroir of Peyriac-de-Mer, swept by the spray of the Mediterranean.

A complex, layered wine worth attention. Lemon-gold robe; fragrant aromas of orange marmalade infused with candied lemon, honeyed red apple, pear tart and nectarine. On the palate, peach cobbler and brioche, carried by a taut, cider-infused acidity.

THE BLEND

Vermentino & Bourboulenc

Vermentino

80%
FLORAL·SALINE·TAUT·CLIFFSIDE ROLLE

Brings saline tension and brilliance — citrus, white flowers: the iodine backbone of the blend.

Bourboulenc

20%
RICH·MINERAL·HAWTHORN NOTES

Gives body and a mineral foundation — fleshy roundness, hawthorn notes: it cloaks the freshness.

Vinification · Gentle winemaking — letting the terroir speak

THE TERROIR

Salt, limestone, southern light.

Le Délicat finds its precision here: between lagoon, garrigue and limestone soils, where every element imprints the cuvée.

AOP CORBIÈRESFR-BIO-01PEYRIAC-DE-MER
01

White saline soils

Vermentino dives into a pale limestone steeped in marine salts left by ancient lagoons.

Clay-limestone
02

Breath of the lagoon

Steps from the Bages-Sigean lagoon, morning breezes temper the heat and preserve the purity of Bourboulenc.

Sea breeze
03

Morning harvest

Picking at first light to lock in the freshness of the berries and reach the cellar without thermal shock.

At dawn
Domaine Pilenium terroir: limestone and garrigue of the maritime Corbières
381 Pla de l’Ille · Limestone plots

A saline etching, chiselled by the wind.

The setting is not a landscape: it’s the saline, mineral tension found in every sip of Le Délicat.

THE ART OF AGEING

Tank & barrel, the signature balance

Le Délicat combines two ageings: the freshness of the tank and the nobility of oak, for a unique balance.

Oak-barrel ageing Partial 50 % · 8 months in French oak barrel

A portion of Le Délicat is refined in French oak: it gains notes of vanilla, sweet spices and cocoa and roundness, while the rest preserves the citrus and white flowers of Vermentino. The signature balance.

Tank ageing Stainless steel tank

Aged in a stainless steel tank, Le Délicat preserves the citrus and white flowers of Vermentino: a precise, vibrant palate, the most direct expression of the Corbières terroir.

Le Délicat thus marries the freshness of the tank and the depth of oak: its signature balance.

WINEMAKING

From grape to glass

    Buds and flowering

    Vermentino and Bourboulenc awaken in the lagoon breeze.

    Slow ripening

    Gentle ripening facing the sea, fixing freshness and salinity.

  3. SEPTEMBER

    Early-morning harvest

    Picked at daybreak, grapes spared the heat for intact aromas.

  4. OCTOBER

    Gentle winemaking

    Delicate pressing then low-temperature fermentation, unhurried.

  5. WINTER

    Ageing on lees

    On fine lees, no oak — richness builds, purity remains.

  6. BOTTLING

    A saline signature

    Bottled at the estate, to keep Le Délicat's briny brightness.

I recommend the Pillenium estate without hesitation: an incredibly beautiful estate and, above all, the incredibly welcoming owners, in perfect harmony with their environment, which they lovingly care for, and the result is wonderful, exceptional wines!

A beautiful discovery

High-quality white and red. Delicate and long-lasting. Excellent value for money.As a bonus, a very warm welcome from the owner who lovingly explains the compositions of his wines and the different grape varieties that make them up. I highly recommend it.
