Julie Benau Chichois at La Baraquette

Julie Benau

Chichois à la Baraquette 2019

Vin de France

France - Languedoc

Julie Benau makes this piquepoul wine on the edge of the Thau basin, a lagoon famous for its oysters from Bouzigues, near Sète.

"Chichois", in the Sétois country, is a huge mess, obviously generated by the hysteria of the demons of the Grand Foutoir. "Chichois à la baraquette" is the absolute superlative form of this expression, which has no equivalent in any French city, or even in any port, even Mediterranean.

The label represents our winegrower (Julie has a lot of humor!), Work entitled "Julie" by New York artist Brandon McQueen.
