Petit Manseng

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

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

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

About the estate:

It is the largest private estate in Jurançon and the most widely distributed brand 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: fruitiness of great purity and concentration, balanced by the region’s characteristic liveliness. Top-notch.
