"A must-try from the estate: crisp, fruity, and versatile—perfect from appetizers to dessert!"

This 100% Petit Manseng, with its beautiful golden-yellow color, offers a clean and pleasant nose of exotic fruits and citrus, complemented by hints of gingerbread. The palate opens with a smooth and fresh attack, featuring extremely crisp fruit.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

This is the most prominent private estate in Jurançon and the brand most widely available in high-end restaurants and luxury wine shops. Henri Ramonteu has perfected the small-scale production of sweet wines with spectacular aromas and a fascinating finish. All share the estate’s signature style: fruit of great purity and concentration, balanced by the region’s characteristic liveliness. Top-notch.
