Olivier Pithon IGP Côtes Catalanes "Mon P'tit Pithon" red 2024:

La Revue du Vin de France (K. Valentin, July-August 2025) "Tour de France of amazing bottles under 15 €": 91/100. We bow to the rich, plump character of this simple red with its pure juice, soft yet structured tannins, and aromatic finesse evoking garrigue, laurel, cistus, blackberry, and pepper. A paragon of southern red, revealing Mediterranean charm.

La Revue du Vin de France (K. Valentin, Nov. 2025, Roussillon: the infinite nobility of Catalan whites) : Olivier Pithon arrived over twenty years ago in Calce. From the start, the Angers winemaker, brother of Jo Pithon, mastered the acidity of the grapes from the South, quite different from the light Chenins of the Loire, and his production, half red, half white, is captivating. Today, he still produces some of the most desirable cuvées in the area, with a particular sensitivity to whites. A fervent defender of the expression of terroirs through grenache gris and macabeu, he also plants clairette blanche and rosé, bourboulenc, and albarino... All means are good to find freshness, starting with the grapes' ability to withstand drought. Olivier Pithon bets on the aging potential of the blancs, so we delight in wines that have at least taken two years.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

This gourmet wine has a beautiful freshness, the hallmark of the house. To be enjoyed among friends, in the sun... in all simplicity. Grenache noir, Syrah, and mourvèdre for the red, all reflecting a wide mosaic of terroirs.
