Jurançon Sec
Aromatic, charismatic Jurançon Sec from the beautiful biodynamic vineyards of Chateau Lafitte. An eloquent wine of profound elegance. Mellow yellow nose. Expansive mouthfeel. Soft southern citrus notes and acacia blossom on tangerine dreams. Amaretti biscuits and scent of beeswax. Intensely juicy palate, slightly smoky and even slightly toasty, yet fresh like the rivers that flow around Monein.
Pair with oysters, fish dishes, Roquefort or goats cheese and country ham.
80 % Petit Manseng, 20 % Gros Manseng. Hand-picked, fermented by native yeasts and aged on fine lees for 9 months in oak barrels. Alc. Vol. 13% Vintage 2022

He lives with his wife and children in a stunning 14th century manor house in Monein and farms 5 hectares of vines with uncompromising respect for nature and the environment.
