Domaine Felines Jourdan

A.O.C. Picpoul de Pinot, Languedoc, France
100% Picpoul
















This 100% estate grown Picpoul de Pinet clearly demonstrates just how under-rated this variety is – and how much promise the 2010 vintage in France shows!  You’ll find pretty aromas of white flowers, lemon/lime citrus, and anise/fennel notes to start. Then a crisp, minerally, texture with tart granny smith apple, green melon, and lemon/lime flavors and a clean, dry, finish.  This is just a great all-around daily white, with enough flavor and body to shine by itself at a party and enough complexity and depth to pair well with Oysters freshwater fish and lighter poultry dishes. Fresh cheeses. Even Asparagus.
