Jurançon Sec
Aromatic, charismatic Jurançon Sec from the beautiful biodynamic vineyards of Chateau Lafitte. An eloquent wine of profound elegance to pair with oysters, fish dishes, Roquefort or goats cheese and country ham.
Mellow yellow nose and expansive mouthfeel. Soft southern citrus notes that melt like lemon drops, acacia blossom confetti on tangerine dreams. Amaretti biscuits, scent of beeswax…and day turns to night: an intensely juicy palate, slightly smoky, slightly toasty yet fresh like the rivers that flow around Monein. Sip slowly and share generously.
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

About the WInemaker
Antoine Arraou is a fine and natural winemaker, one of the brightest stars of Jurançon and a leading ambassador for artisan wines in the entire Southwest wine region. 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. Certified by Demeter, all the work is done by hand with the support of plants, fruit trees, cereal crops, sheep and bees. The winery is a work of art, set on different levels to privilege gravity during the vinification process, and house an extensive range of aging vessels. The wines are different, special, unique, and Antoine is too. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. He will give you a warm welcome and an unforgettable tasting that will change your vision of the vine and wine forever.
