Some
moments in history are particularly significant, like that which led
to the creation of the famous Picpoul
de Pinet appellation. It occurred
in 1773, when Turgot, one of Louis XVI's future ministers, gave permission
for each barrel of the local wine to be branded with a red-hot branding
iron with a sign marking the quality of the Pinet vineyards.
