This piquepoul wine is from the Cotes de Thau region in France. The piquepoul is a grape variety often grown in the Rhone Valley and Languedoc regions of France and are often quite acidic. The Vintage Cellar described this song as being light and young and would pair well with light fare such as grilled chicken or salads. It has scents of apples, nectarines and sweet citrus oils, while the short finish is infused with a flavor of green melon rind. I definitely noticed the smell of apples, a light but sweet scent. It was a light wine, not terribly complex. It reminded me of summer and eating outside. It had a slight nutty or woody taste, like pistachios, while having a slightly sweet taste as well. Over all a pleasant wine, something everyone could enjoy and would go well with a lot of different foods at a barbecue. This 2011 vintage was $7.95 at the Vintage Cellar.
