Piquepoul (French pronunciation:[pikpul]ⓘ), Picpoul, or Picapoll is a variety of winegrape grown primarily in the Rhone Valley and Languedoc regions of France as well as Catalonia, Spain.[1] It exists both in dark-skinned (Piquepoul noir) and light-skinned (Piquepoul blanc) versions, as well as a very little grown Piquepoul gris. Piquepoul blanc is the most common of the Piquepouls, with 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) cultivated in France in 2000, and an increasing trend.[2]
Piquepoul tends to bud late and has some sensitivity to powdery mildew.
