Jurancon Sec Le Vin Libre

Product description

This wine is made from 50% Gros Manseng, 20% Petit Manseng, 15% Petit Courbu and 15% Camaralet, from old vines some 40 years old. The grapes grow on Argilo siliceous soil, rich in pebbles, with a southeast exposure. The vineyard is farmed organically and is located just a few kilometres from the estate. The grapes are harvested at the point of surmaturity, hand-picked and immediately pressed at low temperatures, followed by a long fermentation. This wine is vinified without the addition of yeasts and with little or no sulphites, and is bottled without filtration at the end of winter. After 5 to 6 months of aging in tanks on lees, this young wine is characterised by aromas of ripe fruit, pineapple and white peach. The taste is round and generous, with a delicate sparkle due to the carbon dioxide from the fermentation, which provides a surprising freshness. This wine is perfect for bistronomy, ideal as an aperitif and pairs perfectly with tapas, seafood and spicy meats.
