"A nectar of sweetness and finesse..."
"The air and warm southern winds facilitate the drying of grapes on mountain vines, extending the harvest period sometimes until December to produce Magendia, a pure Petit Manseng with a nose of calisson and marzipan and a tight palate reminiscent of roasted fruit, pink grapefruit, citrus fruits, with extraordinary finesse and a finish touched with iodine."

About wine:
The air and warm southern winds facilitate the drying of grapes on mountain vines, extending the harvest period sometimes until December to produce Magendia, a pure Petit Manseng with a nose of calisson and almond paste and a tight palate reminiscent of roasted fruit, pink grapefruit, citrus fruits, with extraordinary finesse and a finish reminiscent of iodine.
About the estate:
Jean-Bernard Larrieu produces consistently excellent dry and sweet Jurançon wines of great quality. The dry wines offer a commendable touch of evolution and are a faithful expression of the region's terroirs. The sweet wines, always of fine stature, demonstrate a real mastery of balance. A benchmark estate offering classic, deep and powerful wines that deserve to be aerated to enjoy their beautiful scope.

About wine:
A mature, honeyed, and ripe wine. The acidity keeps it fresh, while orange peel and sweetness balance the wine. It is beautifully ready to drink.
