"A jewel in a bottle
"Petit Manseng offers its wonders in this late harvest wine. While it has great freshness, it also has ripe apricot, honey and spice flavors that are still young and vibrant. This wine will age for many years, and its sweetness will be best from 2023 onwards." ( Wine Enthusiast 2021 )

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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 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.
