"A must-have from the estate: crisp, fruity and versatile from aperitif to dessert!"

"The lightest of the Jurançons Cauhapé range, the wine shows sweetness with ripe tropical fruits. These are enhanced by fine acidity and fresh flavors of sliced apples. Drink now. (Wine Enthusiast 2024)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

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.
