This wine, a blend of 50% Gros Manseng, 40% Courbu and 10% Petit Manseng, comes from a clay-silicon soil with a high concentration of aluminium. The vineyard, with a simple Guyot pruning method and a high density of 5,000 vines per hectare, yields 45 hl/ha. The grapes of these three varieties are harvested on the same day and pressed together to achieve perfect synergy during fermentation at low temperatures and maturation on fine lees for 6 months. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks on fine lees for 6 months. The wine's aroma varies depending on the vintage, sometimes with citrus or intense floral notes. On the palate, the wine is full, flavourful and lively. To preserve the freshness of the fruit, it is recommended to drink this wine within 2 years. This deliciously fruity and fresh wine is perfect to pair with light meals on sunny days, such as seafood, grilled fish, warm goat cheese salad and vegetable cake.
In the hills of Monein, near Pau and at the foot of the Pyrenees, lie 12 hectares of very old and historical grounds where the vines of Domaine Montesquiou are planted. According to legends, a count named Montesquiou came to Béarn long ago to marry and subsequently founded an estate in his name. Now, it is Fabrice and Sébastien who proudly and passionately produce beautiful organic wines in the iconic Jurançon, based on centuries-old traditions and practices.
