Hugues de Beauvignac Coteaux du Languedoc Picpoul-de-Pinet 2008

Region: Coteaux du Languedoc, France
Grapes: 100% Piquepoul Blanc (Picpoul-de-Pinet)
ABV: 12.5%
Price: $12

Its a mouthful to say, but worth the effort! Pale gold bliss with a soft tangy-floral nose. Very smooth and mellow, full of ripe pear and lemon with a citrusy-floral finish with just enough oak to give it a slight butteriness. Would compliment seafood or alfredo pasta wonderfully.
