Wines made from Jurançon noir grapes of South West
Discover the best wines made with Jurançon noir as a single variety or as a blend of South West.
Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate of simple red fruits (raspberry, cherry), gentle spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Once widespread in the South-West, now marginal, preserved in a few heritage parcels in Béarn and Bigorre. Native French grape of the South-West, not to be confused with the Jurançon appellation (white wines).
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
