Clos Lapeyre - La Magendia de Lapeyre 2016 (moelleux)

Bettane & Desseauve

About the wine:

Over the past few years, we've become accustomed to the estate's singular Jurançons, marked by a rare purity of fruit, infused with notes of cooked fruit and spices. The palate is very natural, with a lively, sparkling finish.

Guide Hachette des vins

About the wine:

The Petit Manseng used to make this golden-yellow mellow wine was vinified and aged for twelve months in oak. This time in oak has given it a complex palette, blending pineapple and other exotic fruits with honey and toasted almonds. Round in the attack, the palate follows the same aromatic line, carried by a tonic vivacity that underlines the toasty finish.

About the wine:

In this perfectly balanced vintage, here's a well-made, luminous Jurançon that plays on creamy quince in the mid-palate and the delicate vivacity of Petit Manseng on the finish. The longer, lemony finish adds charm to the whole.

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.

Wine Enthusiast

About the wine:

Sweet, concentrated, honeyed flavors are lifted by acidity and fragrances of pear and apricot. This wine is as fresh as it is smooth. Light to the touch, it's ready and immediately delicious. It can be drunk now, but will be better from 2020. - Ranked in the TOP 100 selection 2019
