Jurançon|White wine

4.2/5 (14 customers)

Note: Guide Hachette 2** (remarkable wine) + Coup de Coeur, B&D 16.5/20 (instant pleasure), Gault Millau 16.5/20
At the top of Domaine Cauhapé’s range of dry Jurançons stands La Canopée! Made from sun-dried Petit Manseng grapes, it strikes a balance between the expression of overripeness and the controlled richness necessary for its production. With sweet aromas and a dry palate, this atypical wine sits right at the intersection of the two Jurançon appellations, revealing an unexpected richness. A must-try!

A déguster sur une cuisine salée aux pommes, aux raisins, aux coings, aux figues. Sur un feuilleté d’asperges, une lotte dans une sauce aux girolles, un filet mignon avec des fruits d’automne. Accord très agréable avec le foie gras et les ris de veau accompagnés de morilles...<br/>

Review by Mr. WILLIAM O. Posted on 11/02/2012

One of my favorites from this winery. Wonderful aromas, beautifully enhanced by the aging process. A full-bodied wine with notes of exotic fruits, whose refreshing finish perfectly complements the honeyed aromas.
