(Notes from the 2013 vintage)

A complex yet subtle vintage that delights with aromas of pear and banana mingled with fresh notes of citrus and spices. The oak is well integrated and accompanies a pleasant sensation of freshness on the finish. This is undoubtedly a white wine to be enjoyed!

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.
