The Naticco label serves as a specialized brand for the high-quality Picpoul de Pinet produced at Domaine de Valensac, a 49-hectare estate in Florensac that has been held by the Lafon family for generations. While the owners are currently based in Brussels, the estate’s daily operations and winemaking have been led since 2004 by Edwige Thuillé, a Burgundy-trained oenologist. Thuillé leverages her technical expertise from Beaune to cultivate the estate’s red clay soils, utilizing maritime cooling and sustainable practices to craft wines defined by their precision and Burgundian-inspired elegance. Located merely ten kilometres from the Mediterranean, the vineyards are greatly influenced by the maritime climate and cool soils - ideal for white wines. Working with limited yields and only picking at perfect ripeness makes for wines with wonderful aromatics and texture.
