Tasting- Les Perles Piquepoul


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

Shop Critic:  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:  This wine was pale yellow in color.  It had a light, citrusy, fruity aroma.  The taste, however, was quite tart and acidic.  It was extremely light bodied with not much mid palate and the aftertaste was almost non-existent.  I was not a huge fan of this wine, I like wines to have a bit more body but it was decent.  

I drank this wine by itself with no food pairings.
