Rated estate (2026 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)

About the estate:

This is the largest private estate in Jurançon and the most widely distributed brand in fine dining establishments and luxury wine shops. Henri Ramonteu has perfected the small-scale production of sweet wines with spectacular bouquets and fascinating length on the palate. All share the house style: great purity of fruit and concentration balanced by the liveliness characteristic of the region. Top notch.
