"A deliciously concentrated and balanced Jurançon!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Smoky, racy character with that hint of coffee, ideal acidity on the palate, a little marked, backbone could support a little more, warm, roasted finish. Lacks a little freshness.
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:
Beautiful nose of white pepper, wild honey, candied orange and mushrooms with hints of macadamia nuts. Superb freshness, intense and concentrated, very exotic.
