UPC code: 7 84585 00068 5
2007 Cave de Pomérols, Picpoul de Pinet, Hugues Beaulieu 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 f
lavors, 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.

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”.
- Wine Advocate (#173, Oct. 2007), 87 pts

"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." - Robert Parker, Jr - Business Week (July 2, 2007) - 87 pts
