The Dom de Sol Picpoul de Pinet is the third wine we tried at the Vintage Cellar yesterday. It is from Languedoc, France 2011, Picpoul Blanc variety, priced at $9.95. The Vintage Cellar said, "From one of the oldest indigenous varietals to the Languedoc, Picpoul Blanc is the ideal partner to a number of fish and shellfish dishes. The wine is a golden colour with green tints. The nose is fruity with hints of rose petal and lime. The palate is quite light and dry with lively acidity". I really enjoyed this wine, it had a sweet smell that gave the impression it was going to have a very sweet taste, but to my surprise it had a dry, freshness to it that I was not expecting.
