Wine Enthusiast
"A blend of Gros Manseng and rare Camaralet, this wine has memorable richness, intensity, fruit and structure. Notes of yellow fruit combine with kiwi and spiced apple in a complex wine that needs aging. Drink from 2023. (Wine Enthusiast 2022). Charm in spades!

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.
