Jurançon Sec l’Estela, Domaine Montesquiou

£17.00

Dry and zesty white from Jurançon

Jurançon is one of the most beautiful parts of France, set in the lush, green, rolling foothills of the Pyrénées, just to the west of Pau. It is also a challenging area for viticulture, only possible at sites offering both shelter from spring frosts and optimal exposure. Brothers Fabrice and Sébastien reintroduced ancient grape varieties, such as Petit Courbu, Camaralet and Lauzet, to bring more complexity and singularity to their dry whites. The brothers employ many of the techniques of biodynamic viticulture so that no insecticides and herbicides are used. This philosophy demands that they put a great deal of work in their vineyards to produce healthy grapes that have good balance between ripeness and acidity.

L’Estela is a blend of Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng & Petit Courbu. The wine undergoes a short lees aging, but no oak is used. The result is a deeply coloured but refreshingly acidic dry white. Notes of ripe apple, zesty lime and orange blossom, with a mineral finish.
