"The same green hues as the Canopée, an original and harmonious nose, notes of grapefruit and very ripe grapes, well-integrated oak, dense, flavorful, and harmonious. A pinnacle of dry Jurançon." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2009 - Bettane & Desseauve). A 2006 vintage with beautiful aromatic richness, featuring notes of exotic fruits and the lingering flavors characteristic of the old vines from which it is made.

Food and wine pairings

Un vin que révèlera à merveille une charcuterie fumée, mettra en valeur un saumon au  court-bouillon ou un autre poisson finement cuisiné ou même grillé, une viande blanche ou encore un fromage de brebis sec des vallées du Sud-Ouest. Autres suggestions possibles : langoustines au basilic thaï, gambas flambées à l’anis, blanquette de veau à l’ancienne, gibier tendre comme le pigeon ou la pintade...<br/>
