Very high ageing potential. Star of Jurançon moelleux AOC and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh AOC, also made as ambitious dry wines. Very late-ripening native grape of Béarn (South-West France).

The wine region of Jurançon
Béarn jewel of whites at the foot of the Pyrenees: signature Petit Manseng as king white for sweet wines (on-vine raisining) — opulent and fresh with notes of honey, candied pineapple, mango, apricot, white flowers, cinnamon, nutmeg and a truffle touch, signature chiseled acidity balancing sugar. Gros Manseng as dry, lively and taut (citrus, exotic fruits, flowers). Courbu and Lauzet as complement. AOC (1936), ~1,000 ha on 25 communes south of Pau, clay-gravel terraces.
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.
