"An eternal, timeless wine!"
"This golden, late-harvest wine is just a teenager. Its intense richness and flavors of cooked apricot and honeyed almonds are shot through with the characteristic acidity that makes this grape so great in this region. This wine is just about ready to drink, but to enjoy its wonders, wait until 2022."

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Classic fruitiness enhanced by vanilla notes bursts from the glass. The palate is rich and round, with just the right amount of freshness. A fine wine.
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.

About the wine:
Pure gold. Extremely sweet tropical aromas of apricot jam and passion fruit on the nose, supported by a lovely honeyed structure. Sumptuous palate that revolves around finesse and freshness, with a lingering, savory, mellow finish. Extremely pure.
