Jurançon|White wine

4.3/5 (16 customers)

The Ballet d'Octobre cuvée is the result of a delightful blend of Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng, delicately harvested in late October. The nose reveals crisp, pleasant notes of exotic fruits and citrus, complemented by hints of gingerbread, while the palate offers a sweet, fresh taste with exceptionally crisp fruit. A must-try!
