We had our first wine made from the Picpoul grape last night and loved it!! It went excellently with our dinner of mahi fish fillets. The color was a pale gold. The body was light to medium with great acidity. It was very refreshing, delicious, and came at a great price ($10) at Total Wines. The Hugues Beaulieu Picpoul de Pinet reminded me of a combination of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and an Albarino from Spain. It tasted more like an Albarino, but had the great acidity and liveliness of a Sauvignon Blanc. The taste was mostly lime, lemon, grapefruit, with some peach. It was also great on its own after dinner.
I would highly recommend this wine and will definitely be buying more in the future.
