Wine Enthusiast
"Slightly sweet, this wine is beautifully textured. With acidity running through the honeyed flavors, the wine has a dry core that will soften. Let this elegant wine age and drink it from 2025." (Wine Enthusiast 2022). A lovely mellow wine!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2021 guide) 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.
