Domaine Cauhapé - Quintessence du Petit Manseng 2006
Rating: Gault Millau 17.5/20
“The quintessence of candied fruit, the quintessence of iodine-tinged minerality, the quintessence of delicate bitterness (green asparagus), and the quintessence of savory sweetness (acacia honey, barley sugar). A Jurançon that stands out for the finesse of its texture. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). A true masterpiece!
