Jurançon moelleux, Marrote, Guirardel - 2012

  • Provenance: Southwest
  • Appellation: Jurançon
  • Domain: Guirardel - UGO
  • Grape variety(ies): 100% Petit Manseng
  • On-call time: 30 years
  • Style of wine: Vin doux
  • Alcohol degree: 14%
This is the type of wine that has made the reputation of the appellation since Henry IV, who made it one of the pride of his royal table. This plot selection maximises the characteristics of the Petit Manseng harvested at an ideal level of maturity: an extraordinary nose of purity and precision, with the finest palette of white truffles and fresh citrus fruits; on the palate, it has a tension and vivacity worthy of a great dry white wine which carries its mellow structure away for long seconds with a crazy energy. Destined for (long) cellaring, it is quite simply one of the greatest mellows in France. To drink it today, serve at 10-12° and decant for 2 hours to enjoy its aromas. Bettane & Desseauve: 17/20
