Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14.5/20 (Good wine)
About the wine:
A seductive nose of fruit and white flowers, a dry gastronomic wine with good concentration. Try it with a seafood dish, but don't serve it too chilled.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2020 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (2024 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A dynamic, vibrant white with flavors of green apple and mint, palpable tension in the texture of a mouth that sparkles for a long time with perfect length.
About the domain :
Jean-Bernard Larrieu consistently produces Jurançons, both dry and sweet, of the highest quality. The dry wines are offered with a commendable touch of evolution, and are a faithful expression of the terroirs of this region. The mellow wines, always of fine stature, bear witness to a real mastery of balance. A benchmark domaine offering classic, deep and powerful wines that deserve to be aerated to take advantage of their great scope.
