Wine Spectator
A complex yet subtle cuvée that flatters with pear and banana scents mingled with fresh citrus and spice notes. The woodiness is well integrated, with a pleasant sensation of freshness on the finish. This is a pleasure white, without a doubt!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2015 guide) 14.5/20 (Vintage 2013) (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.
