"A diamond in the rough!"

“An original cuvée with a golden-amber hue, full-bodied, powerful, soft on the nose, and sharp as a cleaver on the palate. The contrast between the lush richness of the nose and the vertical, sharp palate is what gives this cuvée its charm, with a rare saline note.” (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

An original cuvée with a golden-amber hue, full-bodied, powerful, soft on the nose, and sharp as a cleaver on the palate. The contrast between the lush richness of the nose and the crisp, sharp palate is what gives this cuvée its unique charm, with a rare hint of saltiness.

About the estate:

Jean-Bernard Larrieu consistently produces dry and sweet Jurançon wines of exceptional quality. The dry wines show a commendable depth of character and are a faithful expression of the region’s terroirs. The sweet wines, always of fine stature, demonstrate a true mastery of balance. A benchmark estate offering classic, deep, and powerful wines that deserve to be decanted to fully appreciate their impressive scope.
