"This dazzling duo of Camaralet and Gros Manseng has charm in spades and unrivalled refinement!
"The ripe fruit of the wine has notes of honey, fresh melon and white fruit. It's a delicious mix of flavors, with body and acidity, lifted by spice on the finish." (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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.

Fresh nose of exotic fruit, nothing too much. Fine, balanced palate.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 19/10/2023
On the nose, as on the palate, more, more... and more aromas in the broad spectrum of this dry Juran¢on: mainly white-fleshed fruit, with exotic fruit and citrus fruit on the side, complemented by floral and dried herb notes. This impressive blend of flavors coats the palate with a dense, rich body, supported by vibrant acidity that lends tension and the weight of perfectly controlled power. The finish benefits from the extra freshness provided by the extra minerality. Accessible and ready to drink. This lovely, luminous white wine, with all its finesse, was paired with a starter of grapefruit stuffed with pink shrimp/crab/avocado, followed by a dessert of lemon meringue pie. Score = 4.
