Details and technical informations about Winery Brana's Albedo Irouléguy.
Discover the grape variety: Petit Courbu
Aromatic, structured whites with a golden robe, ample palate and preserved acidity, showing refined aromas of yellow fruits (pear, peach), candied citrus, white flowers, honey and limestone mineral notes. Adds roundness and richness to Béarn blends. Precious component of Jurançon AOC (dry and sweet), Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh AOC and Béarn AOC, complementing petit and gros manseng. Very rare autochthonous Béarn variety, making a comeback for its aromatic finesse.

The wine region of Irouléguy
Basque Country AOC (~250 ha, 15 communes, mountain vineyard, red sandstone and schist-limestone): Tannat signature as Pyrenean red king — structured and full-bodied with dark fruits, liquorice and spices, dense tannins softened by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon bringing finesse and suppleness, fleshy and long. Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng and Courbu in aromatic whites with exotic fruits. AOC 1970.
The wine region of South West
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.
The word of the wine: Cellar master
The cellar master is the technical manager of a winery (usually a professional oenologist), who presides over and oversees the wine-making process and its maturation. Unlike an oenologist in a wine laboratory, who intervenes on an ad hoc basis to assist the winemaker, the cellar master is part of the estate's technical team.
