This is what good wine from the Picpoul grape tastes like

The Picpoul grape produces a crisp, dry white wine with hints of peach, mild spiciness, but above all invigorating lemon and lime. A wine to accompany oysters, shrimp, or fish, best enjoyed young, as it certainly won't get any fresher from being stored in the cellar for a long time.

It comes from the Languedoc in the south of France. Recently, it has found its way to Dutch specialty wine shops. Those from the village of Pinet, in particular, are worth trying. Picpoul is also permitted as an ingredient for (white) Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Less well known is that there is also a grey and a red Picpoul. These, too, should be drunk young. Both may also be used for Châteauneuf. However, this rarely happens, as they are nearly extinct.
