"A nectar
"The intensity of this wine is impressive. The balance between honey, baked apples and acidity is still evolving towards the great ripeness of the late-harvested fruit. This wine will age further. Drink from 2024". (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100
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:
Magendia 2018, just as pure [as Vitatge Vielh 2018], settles on radiant, slender, refined salinity and fruit.
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.
