The Story

A luminous white, saline and refined.

Born in the heart of the maritime Corbières, Le Délicat captures all the purity of 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.

Vermentino

80%

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.

Domaine Pilenium terroir: limestone and garrigue of the maritime Corbières

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 mois en fût de chêne français

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

Tank ageing Cuve inox

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

  1. MARCH-JUNE

    Buds and flowering

    Vermentino and Bourboulenc awaken under the lagoon breeze.

  2. JULY-AUGUST

    Slow ripening

    Gentle ripeness facing the sea, fixing freshness and salinity.

  3. SEPTEMBER

    Morning harvest

    Picked at daybreak, grapes shielded from 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 the iodised brilliance of Le Délicat.
