WineShout Review: 2012 Le Vieux Pin Petit Blanc

On the nose, there are melons and an apple orchard of Granny Smiths and Golden Delicious.  The palate has stone fruit, key lime and California sweet lemons. There’s some surprising rounded heft in the mouth, and a good balance between the fruit and acidity.

Keep it cool and drink as a summer sipper or with a fresh salad, or let it warm up a couple degrees and give your nose and palate a little more to play with – there are some tantalizing aromatics at work here.

The Le Vieux Pin 2012 Petit Sigma Blanc offers some serious value and will surprise you at its low price point (currently $17).
