This week we are talking about the lesser known and grown Piquepoul grape and the area it predominantly comes from.
Wine Recommendations
Richemer Piquepoul Cotes de Thau 2016 - priced around $6.
- Nose - chalky minerality, citrus - like lemon drop candy and a hint of honeysuckle
- It’s dry with medium plus acidity, full body and
- Flavors - lemon and white flowers
- For a full bodied wine it very crisp and refreshing which allows you to enjoy during hot weather although it does have 12% ABV
- Not very complex in flavor but more complex in the nose and this wine really shined when paired with food
Félines Jourdan 2016 - priced around $13.
- Nose - lemon, tropical fruits, white peach and white flowers
- It’s dry with medium acidity, fully body
- Flavors - lemon, white flowers and melon
- The flavors of this wine are pretty subtle but it’s not a one note wine, it’s complex with lots of different fruit flavors going on. It’s really delicious!
