"A diamond in the rough!"
"An original cuvée with an amber-gold color, voluminous, powerful, soft on the nose and sharp as a knife on the palate. The contrast between the lush volume on the nose and the vertical, sharp palate is what gives this cuvée its charm, with a rare salty note." (Le Guide RVF 2024)

About wine:
An original cuvée with an amber-gold color, voluminous, powerful, soft on the nose and sharp as a cleaver on the palate. The contrast between the lush volume on the nose and the vertical, sharp palate is what gives this cuvée its charm, with a rare salty note.
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:
This rich, dense, dry wine is a blend of the two Manseng varieties with a touch of Petit Courbu. It has aromas of ripe tropical fruits accompanied by spices and a hint of pepper. This powerful wine will be ready to drink from 2025.
