"A superb example of Jurançon!"
A delicate cuvée with a very characteristic and harmonious balance of acidity and body. Its refined, powerful, and well-structured profile gives it aging potential worthy of a great wine. You’ll find aromas of citrus, peaches, mangoes, candied fruit, and honey. Over time, it will evolve to reveal notes of hazelnuts, roasted flavors, white truffles, and green walnuts.

About the wine:
More incisive and complex, the 2021 Suprême de Thou is a fine example of the aromatic flair of Petit Manseng: mango, lime, passion fruit...
About the estate:
Owned by the same family for four generations, this estate is located on the hillsides of La Chapelle-de-Rousse, home to some of the appellation’s most renowned terroirs. In addition to the traditional Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng, Henri Lapouble-Laplace is dedicated to cultivating (using organic farming methods, certified since 2010) other traditional Jurançon grape varieties: Lauzet, Camaralet, and Petit Courbu. This area produces particularly lively and fragrant wines that age with rare grace and intensity. It’s a shame to drink them too young, before they’ve developed the full aromatic complexity they’re capable of—especially those precious notes of black truffle that contribute to the magic of Jurançon. Intense and full of panache, these wines don’t follow the trend of tart, low-quality wines!
