Tasting -- Les Perles Piquepoul


Name: Les Perles Piquepoul
Variety: Piquepoul
Region: Cotes de Thau
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Light and young, this is a straightforward but enjoyable selection that would be an ideal match for light fare such as grilled chicken salads or fluke. Apple flesh, nectarine, and sweet citrus oil aromas and flavors appear on the nose and palate, while the short finish is infused with a flavor of green melon rind.

My Review:  Decently high butter aromas but blend really nice with the apricot smell. Pretty sweet taste and a little heat on the end with the spiking alcohol. 12% alcohol content. Flavors of Granny Smith Apples. 

I did not eat while tasting this wine.
