Rating: 2**(Outstanding Wine) Hachette Guide 2012
"This Savin cuvée, a barrel-aged Petit Manseng, is our favorite. Intensely golden in color, it offers a powerful nose blending ripe fruit, candied citrus, honey, and spices with rich oak notes and hints of cedar. On the palate, it combines richness and concentration, depth and complexity. Above all, it displays remarkable balance thanks to its long, lively finish, which indicates interesting aging potential." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2012)

About the estate:
Located in Monein, in the heart of the Jurançon appellation, this family-owned, certified organic estate has been passed down through the family since... 1676. It has been producing its own wines since Gisèle Bordenave, an oenologist, took over the estate in 1993.
