UPC code: 7 84585 00068 5
2008 Cave de Pomérols, Picpoul de Pinet, HB
12/750ml
Vinification: Skin maceration for a few hours, pneumatic draining
and pressing, double cold decanting, temperature controlled
fermentation.
100%
Picpoul, aka Folle Blanche. Pale yellow color with green
tints. Fresh and fine aromas of grapefruit and exotic
fruit. Lime flavors, with typical focusing acidity, are hallmarks of
Picpoul. Our best value, this wine impresses novices and
hardened geeks equally.
Known as “the
Muscadet of the South” in France, this is to the Mediterranean
coast of France what Albariño is to northwest Spain…the
default wine for fresh shellfish & seafood.

"The
latest installment of a perennial amazing value, the 2007
Coteaux du Languedoc Picpoul de Pinet Hugues Beaulieu from the
region’s Cave de Pomerols coop smells of clover, musk melon
and sea air. Subtly chalky, it finishes with invigorating
salinity, juicy, melon fruit, and a virtual crunch of fresh
garden greens. Here is a wine that delivers the lilt,
minerality, and refreshment reminiscent of a Muscadet, dry
Riesling, or Jacquerre-based Savoie white, but with relatively
low acidity and a soft mouth-feel."
- Wine Advocate (#178, Aug. 2008), 88 pts
"Run, do not walk, to your favorite retail store or to your
computer keyboard and track down the Hugues Beaulieu Picpoul
de Pinet 2007, Coteaux du Languedoc, in the South of
France. Produced from white picpoul grapes by a cooperative
called Cave de Pomérols, all in stainless steel, the wine
offers an amazing rich, spicy savory character. Notes of green
apple and pear waft from the glass, with a touch of fig and a
hint of honey, though the wine is completely, almost
dauntlessly, dry. In the mouth, the texture is smooth and would
be close to luxurious if not for the bright blade of acid that
makes the wine seem to pulse with animation. Flavors run to
roasted lemon and lemon balm with a hint of fig and roasted
peach at the core. It takes a few sips, but you quickly realize
that the wine exults in pure minerality, like a bell-tone of
limestone and oyster shell. And speaking of oyster shells,
it’s difficult to imagine a better wine to accompany fresh
oysters or grilled shrimp, though we knocked this bottle back,
um, I mean sipped it sagaciously, standing in the kitchen
nibbling slices of Comté cheese, and it was great like that.
Anyway, I’ll rate this wine Very Good+. The price? Are you
ready? About $11, or A Bargain of the Ages."

2006 Cave de Pomérols, Picpoul de Pinet, Hugues Beaulieu
12/750ml
"Offering
excellent value, the 2006 Picpoul de Pinet Hugues Beaulieu (from
the region’s Cave de Pomerols coop) smells of clover, lemon,
and the refreshment of an ocean breeze. Subtly chalky and saline
on the palate and lilting in its refreshing lemon, lime, and
flowers, this is a perfect warm weather refresher or
“refrigerator white”.

"Fruity wine that loves a good barbecue"
"An absolutely
delicious light-bodied, tank-fermented and -aged white. Crisp
grapefruit, lemon, and lime notes jump from the glass. This wine
is a perfect match for grilled seafood or chicken."
