Aromatic, structured dry whites with a pale golden robe, an ample palate and preserved acidity, showing rare signature spicy aromas (fennel, pepper, cinnamon, anise), white flowers and yellow fruits. A unique profile with a very strong personality. Very rare (less than 1 ha cultivated), preserved by a few Béarnais winegrowers and blended with Lauzet and Gros Manseng in heritage cuvées. An indigenous French variety from the Béarn (Pyrénées-Atlantiques).

The wine region of Vin de France
The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
