"A diamond in the rough!"
"An original cuvée colored a golden amber, voluminous, powerful, soft on the nose and sharp as a cleaver on the palate. The contrast between the pulpy volume of the nose and the vertical, sharp palate is the charm of this cuvée, a rare saline guest." (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2024) 94/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 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:
An original cuvée with an amber-gold color, voluminous, powerful, soft on the nose and as sharp as a cleaver on the palate. The contrast between the pulpy volume of the nose and the vertical, sharp palate is the charm of this cuvée, a rare saline guest.
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.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
This rich, dense, dry wine is a blend of the two Mansengs with a touch of Petit Courbu. It has aromas of ripe tropical fruit, accompanied by spices and a hint of pepper. This powerful wine can be drunk from 2025.
