clos husté 1987
Reference: 105608Stock: 1 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
classified as an appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc) among the first in france, jurançon was recognised in 1936. it covers about 1,000 hectares, on the foothills of the pyrenees, in the heart of béarn between the gave d'oloron and the gave de pau. the vines take advantage of the sloping hillsides to limit the effect of the high humidity brought by the nearby atlantic ocean. the temperature is mild all year round, thanks in particular to the foehn effect, the warm and drying southern wind that blows at the end of winter. this vineyard favours the cultivation of two autochthonous grape varieties whose presence is attested in the region since at least the middle ages: the petit and gros manseng. there are also some secondary grape varieties such as courbu blanc, camaralet de lasseube and lauzet, but the latter two are hardly used any more today. the dry jurançons have a relatively pale straw yellow colour with green reflections. the rich and complex aromatic palette is adorned with notes of honey, exotic fruits (pineapple in particular) but also spices, flowers (broom) and wax.
