Domaine Felines Jourdan Picpoul de Pinet 0219

A cheeky vibrant little Picpoul de Pinet from the Languedoc. A bright lemony neutral style with dry straw, some leesy characters and briney minerality. Mid weight seen by the 13% alcohol and the lees notes which combine to create the rounded palate. Juicy acid gives freshness as does its youthful exuberance. Great flavour for the style as many can be quite dilute so this punches well above its weight. Perfect matched with clams in spiced tomato and crusty bread, as I did.
