15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
With its fresh, complex bouquet of citrus and exotic fruit, against a background of floral, peppery and aniseed notes, Geyser is a powerful white, enhanced by the Petit Manseng grape, which reveals all its character here. The aromatic palette is fresh and open, developing refined flavors of white fruits, citrus and spices...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (guide 2017) 15/20 (Vintage 2015) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
This is the most important private estate in Jurançon, and the most widely distributed brand in fine restaurants and luxury wine shops. Henri Ramonteu has perfected the small-scale production of sweet wines, with their spectacular bouquet and fascinating length on the palate. All share the house style: pure fruitiness and concentration balanced by the vivacity typical of the region. All the best.
