"This complex white reveals material reminiscent of Williams pear brandy, plums and dried herbs. The texture is ample and creamy. The mineral finish is followed by bewitching notes of bitter orange." (La Revue du Vin de France - April 2019 - RVF). A treasure to be discovered without delay!

Beautiful Jurancon, fine floral and fruity nose (verbena, mango, honey & spices...). Ample, full-bodied palate with lovely freshness. Superb Q/P ratio.

A typical white wine from the Jurançon/Madiran region. White flowers, pineapple and citrus. A Manseng in all its beauty.

Represents well the organoleptic constants of its appellation.needs to be aerated to express its full potential.can give the impression of being a little "shy" and closed in on itself.
