Vintage Cellar Tasting - Les Perles

  • Name: Les Perles
  • Variety: Piquepoul
  • Region: Cotes de Thau
  • Country: France
  • Year: 2011
  • Price: $7.95
  • Shop Review: Light and young, this is a straightforward but enjoyable selection that would be an ideal match for light fare sucha s 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: The aroma of this wine to me was of apples, perhaps pinata apples, as well as white grapes (which I guess makes obvious sense...it IS a white wine after all).  When I first tasted this, it initially hit me with a sense of water on my tongue, very very light.  Then a light, fruity taste came into play with a hint of tart green apples.
  • No food served.
