Petit Manseng (80%) & Gros Manseng (20%)
“Pineapple, mango, apricot and mandarin.
Palate: Beautiful texture, with mango and apricot continuing through to the palate in a lovely way. This wine is lengthy and balanced. This is a multi-dimension wine, with a mineral elegant finish thanks to the altitude terroir of Jurançon.
A sweet, late harvest wine, with no botrytis and 60 g residual sugar without feeling cloying. Made from 25-year-old vines growing on a mix of clay, silica and local poudingues. Yields are low, 30 hl/ha, with hand harvesting in late October and November. In the winery the grapes go through direct pressing and fermentation in 225 litre barrels, with 5% new oak as well as 1200 to 2500 litre foudres. No maloactic. Aged 6 months on lees.”
